softmax

Softmax converts a vector of logits into a probability distribution over classes or tokens.

Expanded definition

softmax 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 softmax manifests in their stack—data handling, evaluation, and runtime guardrails—and revisit assumptions as models update.
