Local inference tip: explicitly tell models to spend tokens freely or they'll hold back
natesiggard · x · 2026-10-14
natesiggard shares a practical local-inference observation: without billing pressure, local models still default to conserving tokens and wrapping up early unless you tell them otherwise.
The fix is a simple prompt instruction — tell the model to use tokens liberally, run as long as it needs, and act without restraint. Since local inference has no per-token cost, this one line unlocks deeper reasoning for free.
