Temperature

Temperature is a parameter controlling the randomness of the model's responses. At low temperature, the model almost always picks the most probable words - responses are repeatable and conservative. At high temperature it allows less obvious choices - it gets more creative, but also more chaotic. In practice: for factual tasks, code, and data extraction, set temperature low; for brainstorming and creative writing, higher. In regular chats the parameter is often hidden, but in APIs and creator tools it's one of the basic knobs.
