What is Temperature (AI)?
A parameter that controls how creative or random an AI's responses are.
Definition
Temperature is a parameter (typically 0-2) that controls the randomness of AI outputs. Lower temperatures (0-0.3) produce more focused, deterministic responses. Higher temperatures (0.7-1.0+) increase creativity and variability but may reduce accuracy.
