Latency
Sampling parameters reshape the next-token distribution after model logits are computed. Temperature changes score sharpness, while nucleus sampling restricts choices to a selected probability mass.
These settings do not change the transformer's forward-pass work for a fixed shape. They can still change total latency through output length and stopping behavior.
Benchmarks disclose sampling and stopping settings alongside prompt and output lengths. Teams attribute speed differences to measured work instead of assuming a parameter changes model computation.
