User-created Parameters

Introduction

These are user-created parameters. They serve to convey the intent of the users in a more concise way. These are not part of the model API but patterns the LLM has picked up through its training. These parameters are just a compact way to deliver what is usually expressed in natural language. Note that having too many or contradictory parameters may lower the quality of the response.
