 ### Sampler Tips
 
-I recommend using the new Min-P sampler method with this model. The creator has a great [guide to it on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/17vonjo/your_settings_are_probably_hurting_your_model_why/).
-Dynamic Temp is also quite nice. Pair it with Min-P.
-
-I find this model performs reasonably well at 8192 context but you will likely get better results at 4096 - 6144 context.
-
-Experiment with any and all of the settings below.
+* I recommend keeping your max context to around 6144 tokens, although you can push higher if you don't mind some decrease in coherence.
+* I recommend using Quadratic Sampling (i.e. smoothing factor) as it's good stuff. Experiment with values between 0.2 and 0.5.
+* I recommend using Min-P. This model seems to work well with Min-P values in the entire range from low settings like 0.05 to high settings like 0.9 when paired with smoothing factor. Experiment to find your best setting.
+* You can enable dynamic temperature if you want, but that adds yet another variable to consider and I find it's unnecessary with you're already using Min-P and smoothing factor.
+* You don't *need* to use a high repetition penalty with this model, but it tolerates high rep penalty, so experiment to find the right value for your preferences.
+  
+Experiment with any and all of the settings below! I'm not a sampler wizard, and what suits my preferences may not suit yours.

 Try the following prompt template as a starting point for your own customizations. The cajoling parts supposedly make LLMs perform better. See [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.11760).
 I recommend the Vicuna instruction format for this blend but others work too. Tulu's format is another good one to use.
