Temperature is a dial that controls how predictable or surprising an AI's responses are—lower settings make it stick to likely patterns, while higher settings introduce more variation and risk. Learning to adjust this setting lets you match the tool to your actual need, whether that's reliable consistency for technical writing or creative exploration for brainstorming.
