# Sampling Parameters in SGLang Runtime # Sampling Parameters in SGLang Runtime
This doc describes the sampling parameters of the SGLang Runtime. This doc describes the sampling parameters of the SGLang Runtime.
It is the low-level endpoint of the runtime. It is the low-level endpoint of the runtime.
If you want a high-level endpoint that can automatically handle chat templates, consider using the [OpenAI Compatible API](../backend/openai_api_completions.ipynb). If you want a high-level endpoint that can automatically handle chat templates, consider using the [OpenAI Compatible API](https://docs.sglang.ai/backend/openai_api_completions.html).
The `/generate` endpoint accepts the following arguments in the JSON format.
```python
@dataclass
class GenerateReqInput:
# The input prompt. It can be a single prompt or a batch of prompts.
text: Optional[Union[List[str], str]] = None
# The token ids for text; one can specify either text or input_ids
input_ids: Optional[Union[List[List[int]], List[int]]] = None
# The embeddings for input_ids; one can specify either text or input_ids or input_embeds.
input_embeds: Optional[Union[List[List[List[float]]], List[List[float]]]] = None

# Whether to return logprobs.
return_logprob: Optional[Union[List[bool], bool]] = None
# If return logprobs, the start location in the prompt for returning logprobs.
# By default, this value is "-1", which means it will only return logprobs for output tokens.
logprob_start_len: Optional[Union[List[int], int]] = None
# If return logprobs, the number of top logprobs to return at each position.
top_logprobs_num: Optional[Union[List[int], int]] = None
# Whether to detokenize tokens in text in the returned logprobs.

custom_logit_processor: Optional[Union[List[Optional[str]], str]] = None
```
The `sampling_params` follows this format
```python
# The maximum number of output tokens
max_new_tokens: int = 128,
# Stop when hitting any of the strings in this list
stop: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]] = None,
# Stop when hitting any of the token_ids in this list

# Sampling temperature
temperature: float = 1.0,
# Top-p sampling
top_p: float = 1.0,
# Top-k sampling
top_k: int = -1,
# Min-p sampling
min_p: float = 0.0,
# Whether to ignore EOS token
ignore_eos: bool = False,
# Whether to skip the special tokens during detokenization
skip_special_tokens: bool = True,
# Whether to add spaces between special tokens during detokenization
spaces_between_special_tokens: bool = True,
# Do parallel sampling and return `n` outputs.
n: int = 1,
## Structured Outputs
# Only one of the below three can be set for a request.
# Constrain the output to follow a given JSON schema.

## Penalties.
# Float that penalizes new tokens based on their frequency in the generated text so far.

frequency_penalty: float = 0.0,
# Float that penalizes new tokens based on whether they appear in the generated text so far.

# tokens. Must be -2 <= value <= 2. Setting to 0 (default) will disable this penalty.
presence_penalty: float = 0.0,
# Float that penalizes new tokens based on whether they appear in the prompt and the generated text
# so far. Values > 1 encourage the model to use new tokens, while values < 1 encourage the model to
# repeat tokens. Must be 0 <= value <= 2. Setting to 1 (default) will disable this penalty.
repetition_penalty: float = 1.0,
# Guides inference to generate at least this number of tokens by penalizing logits of tokenizer's
# EOS token and `stop_token_ids` to -inf, until the output token reaches given length.
# Note that any of the `stop` string can be generated before reaching `min_new_tokens`, as it is
# difficult to infer the correct token ID by given `stop` strings.
# Must be 0 <= value < max_new_tokens. Setting to 0 (default) will disable this penalty.
min_new_tokens: int = 0,
## Custom Parameters for Custom Logit Processor.
# A dictionary of custom parameters for the custom logit processor.
# The custom logit processor takes a list of dictionaries as input, where each
# dictionary is the custom parameters for one token in a batch of the input.
# See also python/sglang/srt/sampling/custom_logit_processor.py
custom_params: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,

## Examples
### Normal
Launch a server
```
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --port 30000
```
Send a request
```python
import requests
response = requests.post(
"http://localhost:30000/generate",
json={
"text": "The capital of France is",
"sampling_params": {
"temperature": 0,
"max_new_tokens": 32,
},
},
)
print(response.json())
```
### Streaming
Send a request and stream the output
```python
import requests, json
response = requests.post(
"http://localhost:30000/generate",
json={
"text": "The capital of France is",
"sampling_params": {
"temperature": 0,
"max_new_tokens": 32,
},
"stream": True,
},
stream=True,
)
prev = 0 ## `/generate` Endpoint
for chunk in response.iter_lines(decode_unicode=False):
chunk = chunk.decode("utf-8")
if chunk and chunk.startswith("data:"):
if chunk == "data: [DONE]":
break
data = json.loads(chunk[5:].strip("\n"))
output = data["text"].strip()
print(output[prev:], end="", flush=True)
prev = len(output)
print("")
```
### Multi modal The `/generate` endpoint accepts the following parameters in JSON format. For in detail usage see the [native api doc](https://docs.sglang.ai/backend/native_api.html).
Launch a server * `prompt`: The input prompt. Can be a single prompt or a batch of prompts.
``` * `input_ids`: Alternative to `text`. Specify the input as token IDs instead of text.
python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path lmms-lab/llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov --chat-template chatml-llava * `sampling_params`: The sampling parameters as described in the sections below.
``` * `return_logprob`: Whether to return log probabilities for tokens.
* `logprob_start_len`: If returning log probabilities, specifies the start position in the prompt. Default is "-1" which returns logprobs only for output tokens.
* `top_logprobs_num`: If returning log probabilities, specifies the number of top logprobs to return at each position.
* `stream`: Whether to stream the output.
* `lora_path`: Path to LoRA weights.
* `custom_logit_processor`: Custom logit processor for advanced sampling control. For usage see below.

```
Send a request ### Core Parameters
```python
import requests
response = requests.post( * `max_new_tokens`: The maximum output length measured in tokens.
"http://localhost:30000/generate", * `stop`: One or multiple [stop words](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/how-to-get-better-outputs-from-your-large-language-model/#let_the_model_know_when_to_stop). Generation will stop if one of these words is sampled.
json={ * `stop_token_ids`: Provide stop words in form of token ids. Generation will stop if one of these token ids is sampled.
"text": "<|im_start|>system\nYou are a helpful assistant.<|im_end|>\n" * `temperature`: [Temperature](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/how-to-get-better-outputs-from-your-large-language-model/#predictability_vs_creativity) when sampling the next token. `temperature = 0` corresponds to greedy sampling, higher temperature leads to more diversity.
"<|im_start|>user\n<image>\nDescribe this image in a very short sentence.<|im_end|>\n" * `top_p`: [Top-p](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/how-to-get-better-outputs-from-your-large-language-model/#predictability_vs_creativity) selects tokens from the smallest sorted set whose cumulative probability exceeds `top_p`. When `top_p = 1`, this reduces to unrestricted sampling from all tokens.
"<|im_start|>assistant\n", * `top_k`: [Top-k](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/how-to-get-better-outputs-from-your-large-language-model/#predictability_vs_creativity) randomly selects from the `k` highest-probability tokens.
"image_data": "example_image.png", * `min_p`: [Min-p](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27670) samples from tokens with probability larger than `min_p * highest_token_probability`.
"sampling_params": {
"temperature": 0,
"max_new_tokens": 32,
},
},
)
print(response.json())
```
The `image_data` can be a file name, a URL, or a base64 encoded string. See also `python/sglang/srt/utils.py:load_image`. ### Penalizers
Streaming is supported in a similar manner as [above](#streaming).
### Structured Outputs (JSON, Regex, EBNF) To use penalizers you will need to `--disable-overlap`. Please note that this might degrade performance.
You can specify a JSON schema, regular expression or [EBNF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus%E2%80%93Naur_form) to constrain the model output. The model output will be guaranteed to follow the given constraints. Only one constraint parameter (`json_schema`, `regex`, or `ebnf`) can be specified for a request.
SGLang supports two grammar backends: * `frequency_penalty`: Penalizes tokens based on their frequency in generation so far. Must be between `-2` and `2` where negative numbers encourage repeatment of tokens and positive number encourages sampling of new tokens. The scaling of penalization grows linearly with each appearance of a token.
* `presence_penalty`: Penalizes tokens if they appeared in the generation so far. Must be between `-2` and `2` where negative numbers encourage repeatment of tokens and positive number encourages sampling of new tokens. The scaling of the penalization is constant if a token occured.
* `repetition_penalty`: Penalizes tokens if they appeared in prompt or generation so far. Must be between `0` and `2` where numbers smaller than `1` encourage repeatment of tokens and numbers larger than `2` encourages sampling of new tokens. The penalization scales multiplicatively.
* `min_new_tokens`: Forces the model to generate at least `min_new_tokens` until a stop word or EOS token is sampled. Note that this might lead to unintended behavior for example if the distribution is highly skewed towards these tokens.
- [Outlines](https://github.com/dottxt-ai/outlines) (default): Supports JSON schema and regular expression constraints. ### Constrained decoding
- [XGrammar](https://github.com/mlc-ai/xgrammar): Supports JSON schema, regular expression, and EBNF constraints.
- XGrammar currently uses the [GGML BNF format](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/grammars/README.md)
Initialize the XGrammar backend using `--grammar-backend xgrammar` flag Please refer to our dedicated guide on [constrained decoding](https://docs.sglang.ai/backend/structured_outputs.html#Native-API-and-SGLang-Runtime-(SRT)) for the following parameters.
```bash
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \
--port 30000 --host 0.0.0.0 --grammar-backend [xgrammar|outlines] # xgrammar or outlines (default: outlines)
```
```python * `json_schema`
import json * `regex`
import requests * `ebnf`
json_schema = json.dumps({ ### Other options
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {"type": "string", "pattern": "^[\\w]+$"},
"population": {"type": "integer"},
},
"required": ["name", "population"],
})
# JSON (works with both Outlines and XGrammar) * `n`: ?
response = requests.post( * `spaces_between_special_tokens`: Whether or not to add spaces between special tokens during detokenization.
"http://localhost:30000/generate", * `no_stop_trim`: Don't trim stop words or EOS token from the generated text.
json={ * `ignore_eos`: Don't stop generation when EOS token is sampled.
"text": "Here is the information of the capital of France in the JSON format.\n", * `skip_special_tokens`: Remove special tokens during decoding.
"sampling_params": { * `custom_params`: Used when employing `CustomLogitProcessor`. For usage see below.
"temperature": 0,
"max_new_tokens": 64,
"json_schema": json_schema,
},
},
)
print(response.json())
# Regular expression (Outlines backend only)
response = requests.post(
"http://localhost:30000/generate",
json={
"text": "Paris is the capital of",
"sampling_params": {
"temperature": 0,
"max_new_tokens": 64,
"regex": "(France|England)",
},
},

json={
"text": "Write a greeting.",
"sampling_params": {
"temperature": 0,
"max_new_tokens": 64,
"ebnf": 'root ::= "Hello" | "Hi" | "Hey"',
},
},
)
print(response.json())
