Temperature is a setting that changes how random or predictable an AI model’s text output is. The value usually goes from 0 to 1, sometimes higher. A low temperature, close to 0, makes the model pick the most likely next word almost every time, so the answer is steady and safe but can feel dull or repetitive. A high temperature, like 0.9 or 1.0, lets the model explore less-likely word choices, which can give fresh and creative replies, but it may also add mistakes or drift off topic. By adjusting temperature, you balance reliability and creativity to fit the goal of your task.
