Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
temperaturenumberno0.7Sampling temperature. 0 = deterministic, 2 = maximum randomness. · Range: 0 – 2
top_pnumberno0.9Nucleus sampling probability mass. Lower values make outputs more focused. · Range: 0 – 1
max_tokensnumberno4096Maximum output tokens. · Range: 1 – 16000
stopstringno—Up to 4 strings where the model will stop generating further tokens.
enable_thinkingbooleannotrueEnable reasoning before answering.
thinking_budgetnumberno32768Maximum tokens reserved for reasoning when thinking is enabled. · Range: 1 – 81920
reasoning_effortenumno"medium"Reasoning effort level. none disables thinking. low, medium, high, and max set bounded thinking budgets sized to the selected model. Sent as an OpenAI-style reasoning_effort field, translated into enable_thinking and thinking_budget for the model service. · Allowed: none, low, medium, high, max
