Completion

post/v2/completions

Request body

best_ofinteger nullable

Generates best_of completions server-side and returns the "best" (the one with the highest log probability per token). Results cannot be streamed.

When used with n, best_of controls the number of candidate completions and n specifies how many to return – best_of must be greater than n.

Note: Because this parameter generates many completions, it can quickly consume your token quota. Use carefully and ensure that you have reasonable settings for max_tokens and stop.

top_kinteger nullable

Controls the number of top tokens to consider. -1 means consider all tokens.

min_pnumber nullable

Float that represents the minimum probability for a token to be considered, relative to the probability of the most likely token. Must be in [0, 1]. Set to 0 to disable this.

use_beam_searchboolean nullable

Whether to use beam search for sampling.

length_penaltynumber nullable

Float that penalizes sequences based on their length. Used in beam search.

repetition_penaltynumber nullable

Float that penalizes new tokens based on whether they appear in the prompt and the generated text so far. Values > 1 encourage the model to use new tokens, while values < 1 encourage the model to repeat tokens.

early_stoppingboolean nullable

Controls the stopping condition for beam search. It accepts the following values: True, where the generation stops as soon as there are best_of complete candidates; False, where an heuristic is applied and the generation stops when is it very unlikely to find better candidates; "never", where the beam search procedure only stops when there cannot be better candidates (canonical beam search algorithm).

stop_token_idsinteger[] nullable

List of tokens that stop the generation when they are generated. The returned output will contain the stop tokens unless the stop tokens are special tokens.

include_stop_str_in_outputboolean nullable

Whether to include the stop strings in output text.

ignore_eosboolean nullable

Whether to ignore the EOS token and continue generating tokens after the EOS token is generated.

min_tokensinteger nullable

Minimum number of tokens to generate per output sequence before EOS or stop_token_ids can be generated

skip_special_tokensboolean nullable

Whether to skip special tokens in the output. Only supported in vllm.

spaces_between_special_tokensboolean nullable

Whether to add spaces between special tokens in the output. Only supported in vllm.

add_special_tokensboolean nullable

If true (the default), special tokens (e.g. BOS) will be added to the prompt.

guided_jsonobject nullable

JSON schema for guided decoding. Only supported in vllm.

guided_regexstring nullable

Regex for guided decoding. Only supported in vllm.

guided_choicestring[] nullable

Choices for guided decoding. Only supported in vllm.

guided_grammarstring nullable

Context-free grammar for guided decoding. Only supported in vllm.

guided_decoding_backendstring nullable

If specified, will override the default guided decoding backend of the server for this specific request. If set, must be either 'outlines' / 'lm-format-enforcer'

guided_whitespace_patternstring nullable

If specified, will override the default whitespace pattern for guided json decoding.

modelstring required

ID of the model to use.

echoboolean nullable

Echo back the prompt in addition to the completion

frequency_penaltynumber nullable

Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on their existing frequency in the text so far, decreasing the model's likelihood to repeat the same line verbatim.

See more information about frequency and presence penalties.

logit_biasobject nullable

Modify the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion.

Accepts a JSON object that maps tokens (specified by their token ID in the GPT tokenizer) to an associated bias value from -100 to 100. You can use this tokenizer tool to convert text to token IDs. Mathematically, the bias is added to the logits generated by the model prior to sampling. The exact effect will vary per model, but values between -1 and 1 should decrease or increase likelihood of selection; values like -100 or 100 should result in a ban or exclusive selection of the relevant token.

As an example, you can pass {"50256": -100} to prevent the <|endoftext|> token from being generated.

logprobsinteger nullable

Include the log probabilities on the logprobs most likely output tokens, as well the chosen tokens. For example, if logprobs is 5, the API will return a list of the 5 most likely tokens. The API will always return the logprob of the sampled token, so there may be up to logprobs+1 elements in the response.

The maximum value for logprobs is 5.

max_tokensinteger nullable

The maximum number of tokens that can be generated in the completion.

The token count of your prompt plus max_tokens cannot exceed the model's context length. Example Python code for counting tokens.

ninteger nullable

How many completions to generate for each prompt.

Note: Because this parameter generates many completions, it can quickly consume your token quota. Use carefully and ensure that you have reasonable settings for max_tokens and stop.

presence_penaltynumber nullable

Number between -2.0 and 2.0. Positive values penalize new tokens based on whether they appear in the text so far, increasing the model's likelihood to talk about new topics.

See more information about frequency and presence penalties.

seedinteger nullable

If specified, our system will make a best effort to sample deterministically, such that repeated requests with the same seed and parameters should return the same result.

Determinism is not guaranteed, and you should refer to the system_fingerprint response parameter to monitor changes in the backend.

streamboolean nullable

If set, partial message deltas will be sent. Tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent events as they become available, with the stream terminated by a data: [DONE] message. Example Python code.

suffixstring nullable

The suffix that comes after a completion of inserted text.

This parameter is only supported for gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct.

temperaturenumber nullable

What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.

We generally recommend altering this or top_p but not both.

top_pnumber nullable

An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.

We generally recommend altering this or temperature but not both.

userstring nullable

A unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse. Learn more.
