Temperature

Temperature controls how predictable or creative an AI response feels. You've already used it, ChatGPT's "More Creative" mode raises temperature, and it's the temperature parameter in the OpenAI API.

This is a simple learning demo using predefined responses, not a real AI model.

Use temperature 0 for facts, code, and calculations, you want deterministic, repeatable answers.
Temperature above 1.0 can produce incoherent text. Most production apps stay between 0.2 and 0.9.

Key Takeaway

Lower temperature makes responses more predictable. Higher temperature makes responses more creative but less controlled.

Most AI products use a temperature around 0.7 a balance between consistency and variety.
