Temperature
Definition
A parameter that controls the randomness of an AI model's outputs. Lower temperatures (e.g., 0.1) produce more deterministic, focused responses. Higher temperatures (e.g., 1.0) produce more creative, varied, and sometimes unpredictable outputs.
In Plain English
A dial that controls how creative or predictable the AI is. Turn it down for factual answers (like maths or coding). Turn it up for creative writing or brainstorming. Think of it like the difference between a careful accountant (low) and a jazz musician (high).
