Brief

Large language models generate text through a two-step process: first, a frozen neural network calculates probabilities for the next word based on the input prompt. Then, a sampling algorithm, controlled by parameters like 'temperature,' probabilistically selects the next word from these probabilities. This sampling introduces variability, preventing deterministic and repetitive outputs, while the model's underlying probabilities ensure the generated text remains logical and coherent. AI
