The questions of a request are answered independently, an answer does not depend on the other questions. The exception is clef: it reads all the questions in one prompt and decides them jointly.
-The number of options of a `choice` question is limited by the model, for example: 52 for openjev, 255 for laya and clef. For laya, long questions and options are truncated to the token budget the model was trained with.
+The number of options of a `choice` question is limited by the model, for example: 52 for openjev, 255 for laya, clef and pplx-decider. For laya, long questions and options are truncated to the token budget the model was trained with.
For laya and clef, the whole prompt is evaluated in one batch: it must fit in `--ubatch-size`. A server that runs clef only serves this endpoint, text generation is not available.
*Image input:*
-Image input needs a model that supports it (for example: openjev, clef) and its multimodal projector, see `--mmproj`.
