IPromptQueryConfig_UseSampling (formcycle: bom 8.5.6 API)

```
public interface IPromptQueryConfig_UseSampling
```
Mixin for a query connection configuration model that allows the decide whether the model should use sampling or greedy decoding when generating text. If sampling is not used, the model uses greedy decoding, always picking the most likely next token. If sampling is used, the model samples from the probability distribution according to parameters such as temperature or top-p, allowing for more diverse and creative outputs.
Use of this mixin is optional, but ensures a consistent name for the property. When different prompt service handlers use the same property name, switching between different prompt service handlers preserves the configured system prompt.
See also the <xp:useSampling/> Faces component from the http://www.xima.de/taglib/xfc/prompt namespace, which provides a user interface for editing the data defined by this mixin.
