What is Temperature?
It is the setting that determines the creativity level of the answers produced by artificial intelligence.
Overview
Temperature is a setting that determines how creative or how predictable the responses the AI produces will be. While low temperature produces clearer and more consistent answers, high temperature produces more unique and sometimes unexpected answers.
How it works
The model calculates the probabilities when choosing the next word. If the temperature value is low, it chooses the word with the highest probability; If it is high, it also evaluates those with lower probability.
Where it is used
Software developers keep the temperature low when printing a technical document and high when printing a poem.
Commonly confused with
Not to be confused with the intelligence of the model; It's just a filter that changes the way you respond.

Can the temperature be 0?
Yes, in this case the model always chooses the safest and highest probability word.
