Inference

beam search

beam search is a core generative-AI concept used across modeling, product, and governance discussions.

Expanded definition

beam search shows up constantly when teams ship LLM features. Practically, it influences how you design prompts, evaluate quality, and reason about failure modes. Teams should document how beam search manifests in their stack—data handling, evaluation, and runtime guardrails—and revisit assumptions as models update.
