Temperature
Control the creativity and randomness of AI responses
What is Temperature?
Temperature is a parameter that controls the randomness and creativity of AI responses. It determines how predictable or surprising the model's outputs will be. Temperature ranges from 0.05 to 1.5 (though most practical use stays between 0 and 1).
Low Temperature (0.05 - 0.3)
More Deterministic & Focused
The model will choose the most likely next word or phrase, resulting in consistent, predictable responses. Best for factual tasks, code generation, and when you need accuracy.
Example: 0.2 for programming help, data analysis, or technical documentation
Medium Temperature (0.4 - 0.7)
Balanced & Versatile
A good middle ground between creativity and coherence. The model has some freedom to be creative while maintaining logical structure.
Example: 0.7 for general conversation, explanations, or content writing
High Temperature (0.8 - 1.5)
Creative & Experimental
The model will take more risks and generate more diverse, creative responses. Can produce unexpected or unusual outputs.
Example: 0.9-1.0 for creative writing, brainstorming, or storytelling
Recommended Settings
- Code Generation: 0.2
- Math & Science: 0.1 - 0.3
- General Q&A: 0.5 - 0.7
- Creative Writing: 0.8 - 1.0
- Brainstorming: 0.9 - 1.2
Pro Tip
Start with a lower temperature when you need accuracy and precision. You can always increase it later if you want more creative or diverse responses. In NyxoChat, if you leave the temperature bar at DEF, the model provider will automatically choose the temperature for you.
