### Query Configuration
###
### How to control the context lenght sent to LLM:
###    MAX_ENTITY_TOKENS + MAX_RELATION_TOKENS < MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS
###    Chunk_Tokens = MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS - Actual_Entity_Tokens - Actual_Reation_Tokens
######################################################################################
# LLM responde cache for query (Not valid for streaming response)
ENABLE_LLM_CACHE=true
# COSINE_THRESHOLD=0.2
### Number of entities or relations retrieved from KG
# TOP_K=40
### Maxmium number or chunks for naive vactor search
# CHUNK_TOP_K=20
### control the actual enties send to LLM
# MAX_ENTITY_TOKENS=6000
### control the actual relations send to LLM
# MAX_RELATION_TOKENS=8000
### control the maximum tokens send to LLM (include entities, raltions and chunks)
# MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS=30000

### maximum number of related chunks per source entity or relation
###     The chunk picker uses this value to determine the total number of chunks selected from KG(knowledge graph)
###     Higher values increase re-ranking time
# RELATED_CHUNK_NUMBER=5

### chunk selection strategies
###     VECTOR: Pick KG chunks by vector similarity, delivered chunks to the LLM aligning more closely with naive retrieval
###     WEIGHT: Pick KG chunks by entity and chunk weight, delivered more solely KG related chunks to the LLM
###     If reranking is enabled, the impact of chunk selection strategies will be diminished.
# KG_CHUNK_PICK_METHOD=VECTOR

### Reranking configuration
###     Reranker Set ENABLE_RERANK to true in reranking model is configed
# ENABLE_RERANK=True
### Minimum rerank score for document chunk exclusion (set to 0.0 to keep all chunks, 0.6 or above if LLM is not strong enought)
# MIN_RERANK_SCORE=0.0
### Rerank model configuration (required when ENABLE_RERANK=True)
# RERANK_MODEL=jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual
# RERANK_BINDING_HOST=https://api.jina.ai/v1/rerank
# RERANK_BINDING_API_KEY=your_rerank_api_key_here

# FORCE_LLM_SUMMARY_ON_MERGE=4
# SUMMARY_MAX_TOKENS=10000

###########################################################
### LLM request timeout setting for all llm (set to TIMEOUT if not specified, 0 means no timeout for Ollma)

### OpenAI Specific Parameters
# OPENAI_LLM_TEMPERATURE=1.0
# OPENAI_LLM_REASONING_EFFORT=low
### For models like Qwen3 with fewer than 32B param, it is recommended to set the presence penalty to 1.5
# OPENAI_LLM_PRESENCE_PENALTY=1.5
### If the presence penalty still can not stop the model from generates repetitive or unconstrained output
