Optional<LogitBias> logitBias

Modify the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion.

Accepts a JSON object that maps tokens (specified by their token ID in the tokenizer) to an associated bias value from -100 to 100. Mathematically, the bias is added to the logits generated by the model prior to sampling. The exact effect will vary per model, but values between -1 and 1 should decrease or increase likelihood of selection; values like -100 or 100 should result in a ban or exclusive selection of the relevant token.

Optional<Boolean> logprobs

Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens or not. If true, returns the log probabilities of each output token returned in the content of message.

Optional<Long> maxCompletionTokens

An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a completion, including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.

DeprecatedOptional<Long> maxTokens

The type of response format being defined. Always json_object.

Optional<String> safetyIdentifier

We recommend hashing their username or email address, in order to avoid sending us any identifying information. Learn more.

DeprecatedOptional<Long> seed

This feature is in Beta. If specified, our system will make a best effort to sample deterministically, such that repeated requests with the same seed and parameters should return the same result. Determinism is not guaranteed, and you should refer to the system_fingerprint response parameter to monitor changes in the backend.

maximum9223372036854776000
Optional<ServiceTier> serviceTier

Specifies the processing type used for serving the request.

  • If set to 'auto', then the request will be processed with the service tier configured in the Project settings. Unless otherwise configured, the Project will use 'default'.

Optional<ChatCompletionToolChoiceOption> toolChoice

Controls which (if any) tool is called by the model. none means the model will not call any tool and instead generates a message. auto means the model can pick between generating a message or calling one or more tools. required means the model must call one or more tools. Specifying a particular tool via {"type": "function", "function": {"name": "my_function"}} forces the model to call that tool.
