# greedy

A sampling mode that always chooses the most likely token.

## Declaration

```swift
static var greedy: GenerationOptions.SamplingMode { get }
```

## Mentioned in

Analyzing images with multimodal prompting

## Discussion

Discussion Using this mode will always result in the same output for a given input. Responses produced with greedy sampling are statistically likely, but may lack the human-like quality and variety of other sampling strategies. note: Sampling modes random(top:seed:) and random(probabilityThreshold:seed:)
