 - Alternate roles:
   Some LLMs/VLMs require alternating roles. You can fuse the instruction prompt with the first observation to comply with this with the following: `client.alternate_roles=True`
 - Temperature:
-  We recommend running models with temperature ranges around 0.5-0.7, or to use the default temperature of the model APIs. Too low temperatures can cause some of the more brittle models to endlessly repeat actions or create incoherent outputs.
