What is Frequency Penalty?
Frequency penalty reduces token probability based on how frequently they have appeared in the text, with higher penalties for more frequent tokens. This prevents excessive repetition and encourages varied language use. The penalty scales with usage frequency, making overused words less likely to be selected again, improving content diversity.
