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 set internally by the local generation engine for each checkpoint rather than exposed as a field to tune: the app picks a value that keeps prompts reliable without extra configuration.
