What is DRY Sampling?

DRY stands for "Don't Repeat Yourself." It penalizes recently-used tokens, reducing repetitive AI output.

When to Use It

  • AI keeps repeating phrases
  • Dialogue feels circular
  • Action scenes loop similar movements

How to Toggle

  1. Open Editor Settings (gear icon)
  2. Find DRY Sampling
  3. Toggle on/off

DRY is on by default. Turning it off can help with poetic or rhythmic writing styles.
