-# Groups provide advanced controls over model swapping behaviour. Using groups
-# some models can be kept loaded indefinitely, while others are swapped out.
-#
-# Tips:
-#
-#  - models must be defined above in the Models section
-#  - a model can only be a member of one group
-#  - group behaviour is controlled via the `swap`, `exclusive` and `persistent` fields
-#  - see issue #109 for details
-#
-# NOTE: the example below uses model names that are not defined above for demonstration purposes
-groups:
-  # group1 is the default behaviour of llama-swap where only one model is allowed
-  # to run a time across the whole llama-swap instance
-  "group1":
-    # swap controls the model swapping behaviour in within the group
-    # - true : only one model is allowed to run at a time
-    # - false: all models can run together, no swapping
-    swap: true
-
-    # exclusive controls how the group affects other groups
-    # - true: causes all other groups to unload their models when this group runs a model
-    # - false: does not affect other groups
-    exclusive: true
-
-    # members references the models defined above
-    members:
-      - "llama"
-      - "qwen-unlisted"
-
-  # models in this group are never unloaded
-  "group2":

-      # (not defined above, here for example)
-      - "modelA"
-      - "modelB"
-
-  "forever":
-    # setting persistent to true causes the group to never be affected by the swapping behaviour of
-    # other groups. It is a shortcut to keeping some models always loaded.

-### Use Case Examples
-
-- [config.example.yaml](config.example.yaml) includes example for supporting `v1/embeddings` and `v1/rerank` endpoints
-- [Speculative Decoding](examples/speculative-decoding/README.md) - using a small draft model can increase inference speeds from 20% to 40%. This example includes a configurations Qwen2.5-Coder-32B (2.5x increase) and Llama-3.1-70B (1.4x increase) in the best cases.
-- [Optimizing Code Generation](examples/benchmark-snakegame/README.md) - find the optimal settings for your machine. This example demonstrates defining multiple configurations and testing which one is fastest.
-- [Restart on Config Change](examples/restart-on-config-change/README.md) - automatically restart llama-swap when trying out different configurations.
