Temperature
Domain: LLM Concepts
🎯 Motivation
Temperature controls randomness in LLM output. Low temperature = focused and predictable. High temperature = creative and varied.
📋 Concrete Example
Temperature 0: ‘What color is grass?’ always gives Green. Temperature 1: might give ‘Green, usually, though some varieties can be yellowish or brown in drought.’ Temperature 2: might give nonsense.
🔗 Analogy
A chef’s creativity dial - at 0, they follow the recipe exactly every time. At 0.5, they might add a twist. At 1.0, they improvise freely. At 2.0, they might throw in random ingredients (chaos).
