The answer
No. Each selected token changes the sequence used for the next prediction. The model therefore computes a new conditional distribution as generation progresses.
How does an LLM assign probabilities to possible next tokens?
Do next-token probabilities stay constant during an answer?
More FAQs in How does an LLM assign probabilities to possible next tokens?
A logit is an unnormalized model score. Softmax converts a collection of logits into nonnegative probabilities that sum to one across the available vocabulary.
Yes. Their phrasing, frequency in training patterns, and compatibility with the prompt can differ. Probability under the model is not the same as correctness.
