Research direction

Look at the llama-cpp-python source code for the generate or call methods, and see how parameters are passed to the underlying llama.cpp library. Check if there is an existing parameter for max_tokens or n_predict, and if not, see how to add binding for the --n-predict option. The documentation should be updated in the relevant API reference section.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In llama.cpp, --n-predict option is used to set the number of tokens to predict when generating text/

I don't find the binding for that in doc.
