Generative AI & LLMs
Stop sequence
A specified pattern that tells a model when to stop generating.
Example
Generation ends when the model produces the application's designated closing marker.
Why it matters
It helps applications keep generated material within an expected boundary.
You'll hear it
“Stop the text when the closing marker appears.”
Can you control it?
Set by the team
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Can an accidental match stop the reply too early?
- Yes. A marker appearing inside ordinary content can end generation before the intended finish.
- Does this correct a badly written answer?
- No. It controls when generation stops, not whether the preceding material is useful or accurate.
- Can different systems handle the marker differently?
- Yes. Whether it appears in the returned text and which patterns are supported can vary.
