title: "Control Token"
description: "In the context of Large Language Models (LLMs), a control token is a special token integrated into the input sequence to guide the model's behavior or output. These tokens can influence various aspects of text, image, video, or audio generation, such as style, tone, or content structure. By embedding control tokens within the input, users can steer the model to produce desired responses, enhancing the customization and utility of LLMs in applications like Prompt Engineering and automated content creation."
