Where can I locate the default parameter values for a specific model?

Last updated: July 31, 2025

The default parameter values for a model can be found in the generation_config.json file on Hugging Face.

For instance, the configuration file for Llama 3.3 70B Instruct (https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct/blob/main/generation_config.json)

contains the following default values:

  • temperature: 0.6

  • top_p: 0.9

If not defined, no value is passed in for a given parameter
