CFG (guidance scale)

CFG, short for classifier-free guidance, is a number that controls how closely a generation sticks to your prompt. A low value gives the model more freedom and often more natural, varied results; a high value forces it to follow the prompt more literally, which can help with precise requests but may look over-processed or distorted if pushed too far.

In tendre.AI, CFG is one of the adjustable generation settings, with a moderate default that works for most prompts and can be tuned per project.
