Is anyone still using Mirostat? Do newer models still need adaptive sampling?
ParvusNumero · reddit · 2026-10-02
A Reddit thread revisits Mirostat — the adaptive sampling algorithm once popular for avoiding the "boredom trap" in long generations — asking whether anyone still uses it.
Core questions: have newer model generations made such sampling controls unnecessary, or have other samplers simply superseded it? The thread collects practical experience from local-model enthusiasts, useful for anyone tuning sampling parameters in local deployments.
