Module 1.3: Sampling and Generation

Deconstruct LLM decoding logic. Explore Temperature, Softmax distribution curves, and penalties.

Key Skills

  • Explain how Temperature alters the logits probability distribution
  • Differentiate between Top-p (nucleus) and Top-k sampling bounds

Interview Value

  • Explain why setting Temperature to 0 does not completely guarantee deterministic responses in multi-node GPU systems.
