Overview

Generation options determine the decoding strategy the framework uses to adjust the way the model chooses output tokens. When you interact with the model, it converts your input to a token sequence, and uses it to generate the response.

Only use maximumResponseTokens when you need to protect against unexpectedly verbose responses. Enforcing a strict token response limit can lead to the model producing malformed results or grammatically incorrect responses.

All input to the model contributes tokens to the context window of the LanguageModelSession — including the Instructions, Prompt, Tool, and Generable types, and the model’s responses. If your session exceeds the available context size, it throws LanguageModelError.contextSizeExceeded(_:). For more information on managing the context window size, see Managing the context window.

When a property is nil, the framework defers to the underlying LanguageModel to select an appropriate value. Each model, and each version of a given model, may pick a different default, and the framework doesn’t guarantee a specific value or that the value remains stable across OS or model updates.
