<a name="API_TextInferenceConfig"></a>

The configuration details for text generation using a language model via the `RetrieveAndGenerate` function.

 ** maxTokens **   <a name="bedrock-Type-TextInferenceConfig-maxTokens"></a>
The maximum number of tokens to generate in the output text. Do not use the minimum of 0 or the maximum of 65536. The limit values described here are arbitrary values, for actual values consult the limits defined by your specific model.  
Type: Integer  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 65536.  
Required: No

 ** stopSequences **   <a name="bedrock-Type-TextInferenceConfig-stopSequences"></a>
A list of sequences of characters that, if generated, will cause the model to stop generating further tokens. Do not use a minimum length of 1 or a maximum length of 1000. The limit values described here are arbitrary values, for actual values consult the limits defined by your specific model.  
Type: Array of strings  
Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 4 items.  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1000.  
Required: No

 ** temperature **   <a name="bedrock-Type-TextInferenceConfig-temperature"></a>
Controls the random-ness of text generated by the language model, influencing how much the model sticks to the most predictable next words versus exploring more surprising options. A lower temperature value (e.g. 0.2 or 0.3) makes model outputs more deterministic or predictable, while a higher temperature (e.g. 0.8 or 0.9) makes the outputs more creative or unpredictable.  
Type: Float  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 1.  
Required: No

 ** topP **   <a name="bedrock-Type-TextInferenceConfig-topP"></a>
A probability distribution threshold which controls what the model considers for the set of possible next tokens. The model will only consider the top p% of the probability distribution when generating the next token.  
Type: Float  
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0. Maximum value of 1.  
Required: No
