# Softmax Probabilities

Turn the scores [2, 1, 0] into probabilities that keep their order, see how temperature changes the competition, and compute it without huge exponentials.

## A glimpse of Softmax Probabilities

A model gives three possible answers the scores [2, 1, 0]. The scores tell us their order, but they are not probabilities: they do not add to one, and scores could also be negative.

We want a probability for each answer while preserving that order. Softmax first turns each score into a positive weight, then divides each weight by their total.
