Token Probability Wrapper for Efficient LLM Classification
September 26, 2026
Using logprobs and a max_completion_tokens of 1 allows for rapid classification by retrieving top-k token probabilities. This technique enables single-token decision making without generating full text responses.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
builderYou can reduce latency and cost for classification tasks by requesting logprobs for a single token instead of full completions.
