## Recommended Settings
> In particular temp 1 and topnsigma 1.25 seems to help a lot with improving quality but sometimes you need to reswipe.
> 
> Some models are more sensitive to Rep Pen settings, 1.12 is another, you may need to adjust higher for smaller models (like 1.4 if overcooked) or lower for smarter ones.
> 
> Not sure about adaptive_p that is a newer setting added to kobold

## New Settings
I have not tested these yet but some users on reddit have reported the following settings work extremely well
- min_p: 0.05
- adaptive_target: 0.9 (down to 0.65 for more creative)
- adaptive_decay: 0.99
- repetition_penalty_range: 0
- temp and topnsigma: 0.75
