# configuration & cache
there is a config file in `~/.config/hey/conf.toml` and a cache file in `~/.cache/hey/cache.json`
you can set their paths and filenames via `HEY_CONFIG_PATH` , `HEY_CONFIG_FILENAME` and `HEY_CACHE_PATH` , `HEY_CACHE_FILENAME` .
## config file reference
```toml
2024-05-05 09:01:47 +02:00
model = "Claude" # or "GPT3"
2024-04-14 08:45:10 +02:00
tos = false # whether if you agree to ddg chat tos
```
## cache file reference
cache file stores the last VQD used. it is (probably) there so that the ai model would remember your history. [read more about duckduckgo chat api ](https://blek.codes/blog/duckduckgo-ai-chat/ )
if you want to reset the VQD, just delete the file.
