What Is Temperature?

Temperature controls the randomness of an AI's output. At temperature 0, the model always picks the most probable next word — making it deterministic and precise. At temperature 1, it considers a wider range of possibilities — making it creative and unpredictable.

When to Use Each Temperature

🧊
Temperature 0

Code generation, data extraction, math, factual Q&A, classification. When you need consistency and accuracy.

⚖️
Temperature 0.3-0.5

General conversation, summarization, editing, analysis. Good balance of reliability and naturalness.

🎨
Temperature 0.7-0.8

Creative writing, brainstorming, marketing copy, poetry. When you want variety and surprise.

🔥
Temperature 0.9-1.0

Experimental writing, wild brainstorming, artistic exploration. Output may be incoherent — use sparingly!

Match Temperature to Use Case

Write a prompt

Write two versions of the same prompt — one optimized for low temperature (consistent, factual) and one for high temperature (creative, varied). Explain what changes between versions and why.
