Learn its inputs, outputs, parameters and usage. > This documentation was AI-generated. If you find any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contribute! [Edit on GitHub](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/embedded-docs/blob/main/comfyui_embedded_docs/docs/TextGenerate/en.md) The TextGenerate node uses a CLIP model to create text based on a user's prompt. It can optionally use images, video, or audio as additional context to guide the text generation. You can control the length of the output, enable a thinking mode for supported models, and choose whether to use random sampling with various settings or to generate text without sampling. ## Inputs | Parameter | Data Type | Required | Range | Description | | ---------------------- | --------- | -------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `clip` | CLIP | Yes | N/A | The CLIP model used for tokenizing the prompt and generating text. | | `prompt` | STRING | Yes | N/A | The text prompt that guides the generation. This field supports multiple lines and dynamic prompts. The default value is an empty string. | | `image` | IMAGE | No | N/A | An optional image that can be used alongside the text prompt to influence the generated text. | | `video` | IMAGE | No | N/A | Video frames as an image batch. Assumed to be 24 FPS; subsampled to 1 FPS internally. | | `audio` | AUDIO | No | N/A | An optional audio input that can be used alongside the text prompt to influence the generated text. | | `max_length` | INT | Yes | 1 to 2048 | The maximum number of tokens the model will generate. The default value is 256. | | `sampling_mode` | COMBO | Yes | `"on"`
`"off"` | Controls whether random sampling is used during text generation. When set to "on", additional parameters for controlling the sampling become available. The default is "on". | | `thinking` | BOOLEAN | No | True or False | Operate in thinking mode if the model supports it. The default value is False. | | `use_default_template` | BOOLEAN | No | True or False | Use the built-in system prompt/template if the model has one. The default value is True. This is an advanced parameter. | | `temperature` | FLOAT | No | 0.01 to 2.0 | Controls the randomness of the output. Lower values make the output more predictable, higher values make it more creative. This parameter is only available when `sampling_mode` is "on". The default value is 0.7. | | `top_k` | INT | No | 0 to 1000 | Limits the sampling pool to the top K most likely next tokens. A value of 0 disables this filter. This parameter is only available when `sampling_mode` is "on". The default value is 64. | | `top_p` | FLOAT | No | 0.0 to 1.0 | Uses nucleus sampling, limiting choices to tokens whose cumulative probability is less than this value. This parameter is only available when `sampling_mode` is "on". The default value is 0.95. | | `min_p` | FLOAT | No | 0.0 to 1.0 | Sets a minimum probability threshold for tokens to be considered. This parameter is only available when `sampling_mode` is "on". The default value is 0.05. | | `repetition_penalty` | FLOAT | No | 0.0 to 5.0 | Penalizes tokens that have already been generated to reduce repetition. A value of 1.0 applies no penalty. This parameter is only available when `sampling_mode` is "on". The default value is 1.05. | | `presence_penalty` | FLOAT | No | 0.0 to 5.0 | Penalizes new tokens based on whether they have appeared in the text so far, encouraging the model to talk about new topics. This parameter is only available when `sampling_mode` is "on". The default value is 0.0. | | `seed` | INT | No | 0 to 18446744073709551615 | A number used to initialize the random number generator for reproducible results when sampling is "on". The default value is 0. | **Note:** The parameters `temperature`, `top_k`, `top_p`, `min_p`, `repetition_penalty`, `presence_penalty`, and `seed` are only active and visible in the node interface when the `sampling_mode` is set to "on". ## Outputs | Output Name | Data Type | Description | | ---------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `generated_text` | STRING | The text generated by the model based on the input prompt and optional image, video, or audio. | *** **Source fingerprint (SHA-256):** `d2d08577e4d5aeea60f5517377730c4917df607be32f29227b07b1011b0f2c2d`
