    """Sampling parameters for text generation.

    Overall, we follow the sampling parameters from the OpenAI text completion
    API (https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions/create).
    In addition, we support beam search, which is not supported by OpenAI.

    Args:
        n: Number of output sequences to return for the given prompt.
        best_of: Number of output sequences that are generated from the prompt.
            From these `best_of` sequences, the top `n` sequences are returned.
            `best_of` must be greater than or equal to `n`. This is treated as
            the beam width when `use_beam_search` is True. By default, `best_of`
            is set to `n`.
        presence_penalty: Float that penalizes new tokens based on whether they
            appear in the generated text so far. Values > 0 encourage the model
            to use new tokens, while values < 0 encourage the model to repeat
            tokens.
        frequency_penalty: Float that penalizes new tokens based on their
            frequency in the generated text so far. Values > 0 encourage the
            model to use new tokens, while values < 0 encourage the model to
            repeat tokens.
        temperature: Float that controls the randomness of the sampling. Lower
            values make the model more deterministic, while higher values make
            the model more random. Zero means greedy sampling.
        top_p: Float that controls the cumulative probability of the top tokens
            to consider. Must be in (0, 1]. Set to 1 to consider all tokens.
        top_k: Integer that controls the number of top tokens to consider. Set
            to -1 to consider all tokens.
        use_beam_search: Whether to use beam search instead of sampling.
        length_penalty: Float that penalizes sequences based on their length.
            Used in beam search.
        early_stopping: Controls the stopping condition for beam search. It
            accepts the following values: `True`, where the generation stops as
            soon as there are `best_of` complete candidates; `False`, where an
            heuristic is applied and the generation stops when is it very
            unlikely to find better candidates; `"never"`, where the beam search
            procedure only stops when there cannot be better candidates
            (canonical beam search algorithm).
        stop: List of strings that stop the generation when they are generated.
            The returned output will not contain the stop strings.
        ignore_eos: Whether to ignore the EOS token and continue generating
            tokens after the EOS token is generated.
        max_tokens: Maximum number of tokens to generate per output sequence.
        logprobs: Number of log probabilities to return per output token.
