Some models are small but frequently called (e.g., models used as translations), while some are large and require a lot of memory.

I would like to configure different numbers of parallels for different models, for example, within the model file using a field similar to the following

PARAMETER parallel 3    # in Modelfile

which instead of a global setting that can only be configured by environment variables.
