What is Temperature (AI)?
Temperature is a setting that controls how much randomness a language model uses when choosing each next word. Low values make answers more consistent and predictable, while higher values produce more varied and creative output but also raise the chance of mistakes.
Why it matters for your business
Choosing the right temperature for each task balances reliability against creativity, for example keeping invoice extraction precise while letting marketing drafts explore different wording.
A company sets temperature near zero for a bot that answers HR policy questions and uses a higher value for a tool that brainstorms product names.
