Definition: Temperature controls the randomness or creativity in AI responses. Higher values produce more varied and creative outputs, while lower values yield more focused and deterministic responses.

Scale: Usually ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, where:

• 0.0: Most focused, consistent
• 0.3-0.5: Balanced
• 0.7-1.0: Most creative, varied

Best for:

• Mathematical problem-solving
• Scientific explanations
• Fact-based responses
• Technical documentation

Example Use: Generating step-by-step solutions for calculus problems

Best for:

• General explanations
• Discussion prompts
• Case studies
• Teaching examples

Example Use: Creating engaging lesson plans with varied activities

Best for:

• Creative writing prompts
• Brainstorming sessions
• Hypothetical scenarios
• Diverse perspectives

Example Use: Generating unique writing prompts for literature class

Purpose: Controls response diversity by limiting token selection

Educational Applications:

• 0.1: Focused technical content
• 0.5: Balanced explanations
• 0.9: Creative explorations

Purpose: Sets response length limits
