Supported parameters

frequency_penalty
Frequency penalty
Lowers the chance of a token in proportion to how often it already appeared.
include_reasoning
Include reasoning
Include a reasoning summary in the response.
logit_bias
Logit bias
Add or subtract from token ids to encourage or ban them.
max_tokens
Max tokens
Upper bound on generated tokens. Output stops at the limit.
min_p
Min-p
Drops tokens below this probability threshold.
presence_penalty
Presence penalty
Lowers the chance of any token that has already appeared.
reasoning
Reasoning
Enable or configure reasoning. The fields differ by model.
reasoning_effort
Reasoning effort
How much compute to spend reasoning. Often low, medium, or high.
repetition_penalty
Repetition penalty
Penalizes text that already appeared. Common on open models.
seed
Seed
A fixed seed helps reproduce sampling. It does not guarantee byte-identical output.
stop
Stop
Stop when these strings are produced. A string or an array of strings.
temperature
Temperature
Sampling temperature. Lower is steadier, higher is more varied. Often 0 to 2.
tool_choice
Tool choice
Whether to call a tool: auto, none, or a named function.
tools
Tools
Function definitions the model may call via tool_calls.
top_k
Top-K
Sample only from the K most likely tokens.
top_p
Top-p
Sample only from tokens whose cumulative probability reaches top_p.
