A content team complains that their generative-AI writing assistant produces nearly identical drafts every run. Which inference parameter should they raise to get more varied, creative output?
A.Max tokens
Max tokens limits output length, not variety.
B.Temperature
Correct. Higher temperature = more random, varied generations.
C.Context window size
Context window limits how much input the model can consider.
D.Top-k vocabulary
Top-k restricts candidate tokens — it's about constraint, not diversity directly.
Why this answer
Temperature controls randomness in token sampling: low values make output deterministic and repetitive; higher values increase diversity and creativity at some cost of coherence.
