We also offer additional options that are exclusive to presets (these aren't treated as command-line arguments):
- `load-on-startup` (boolean): Controls whether the model loads automatically when the server starts
- `stop-timeout` (int, seconds): After requested unload, wait for this many seconds before forcing termination (default: 10)
