# GreedySearch

Set `GreedySearch` to `False` to use an alternative algorithm for generating text.

By default, the generative model uses a greedy search algorithm to determine the output tokens. In this approach, the model chooses the token with the highest probability as the next output token.

You can set `GreedySearch` to `False` to use a multinomial sampling algorithm instead, which chooses the next token randomly based on a probability distribution over the entire vocabulary of the model. This option can sometimes give better results for longer sequences. However, the results vary for a particular input because the algorithm contains an element of randomness.

This parameter has an effect only when Type is set to `GenerativeLLM`.
