     `min_keep`: If greater than 0, force samplers to return N possible tokens at minimum. Default: `0`
 
+    `t_max_predict_ms`: Set a time limit in milliseconds for the prediction (a.k.a. text-generation) phase. The timeout will trigger if the generation takes more than the specified time (measured since the first token was generated) and if a new-line character has already been generated. Useful for FIM applications. Default: `0`, which is disabled.
+
     `image_data`: An array of objects to hold base64-encoded image `data` and its `id`s to be reference in `prompt`. You can determine the place of the image in the prompt as in the following: `USER:[img-12]Describe the image in detail.\nASSISTANT:`. In this case, `[img-12]` will be replaced by the embeddings of the image with id `12` in the following `image_data` array: `{..., "image_data": [{"data": "<BASE64_STRING>", "id": 12}]}`. Use `image_data` only with multimodal models, e.g., LLaVA.
 
     `id_slot`: Assign the completion task to an specific slot. If is -1 the task will be assigned to a Idle slot.  Default: `-1`
