Logprob Value of -9999 in API Responses

Or something added to prevent a div/0 or to short-circuit any further processing.

mpmath.exp(-9999)
mpf('3.0865651575934853e-4343')

“you’re saying there’s still a chance!”

I imagine placeholder possibility if they are running an undisclosed top-x, or other dictionary truncation algorithm on the token set.

I’d be interested to see where it appears in a top-logprobs=20 list, with others.

probability = e-9999 , not decibels…

Logprobs is also putting out other dumbness, like top-1 = 0.0 = 100% probability, and then 19 more follow.
