What is Top-p (Nucleus) Sampling?

A decoding strategy that samples only from the k most likely next tokens.

A generation strategy that constrains output tokens to valid structures or policy-compliant choices.

A model that reorders an initial set of retrieved results to put the most relevant items at the top.

A decoding algorithm that keeps the top several candidate sequences at each step to find higher-probability outputs.

A sampling setting controlling randomness in generated outputs.

A chunk of text processed by language models, such as a word piece or symbol.
