What are logits?

Logits are like scores that help decide who gets to be the winner in a game.

Imagine you and your friends are playing a race. Each person runs as fast as they can, and when everyone stops, we look at how far each person ran, these distances are like logits. The farther someone ran, the higher their score (or logit) is. Then, we use those scores to figure out who won the race.

How Logits Work

Think of logits as secret numbers that help choose the best option among several choices. For example, if you're picking your favorite ice cream flavor, vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, each flavor has a hidden score (a logit) that shows how much you like it. The flavor with the highest score wins!

These scores don’t have to be big numbers, they can even be negative. It's like saying you didn't really like strawberry very much, maybe it got a -2, while chocolate got a +5.

When we use logits, we're not just picking the biggest number, we're finding out which option is most likely to be chosen, based on how strong each one’s score is.
