It does exist very much, even if you go to pure math. Look at the softmax function and take the limit as T->0. It becomes a dirac-delta function. I.e. in a discrete setting (like for LLMs with a finite set of output tokens), probability P becomes one for argmax and 0 for everything else. Only in coding practice it is easer to implement T=0 as a simple if check that directly chooses argmax instead of calculating the limit of some function that includes 1/T quotients. But setting T to zero is in both, theory and practice, turning the usual probability function into greedy sampling.
