 available wrt next query-response. However dont forget that the server when started should
 also be started with a model context size of 1k or more, to be on safe side.
 
+  The /completions endpoint of examples/server doesnt take max_tokens, instead it takes the

 Frequency and presence penalty fields are set to 1.2 in the set of fields sent to server
 along with the user query. So that the model is partly set to try avoid repeating text in
 its response.
