AIF-C01 Practice Question: What does the temperature parameter control in a…
What does the temperature parameter control in a text generation model?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The degree of randomness in the generated output
Temperature scales the logits before applying softmax; higher temperature produces more random outputs, lower temperature makes the model more deterministic.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The number of candidate tokens considered at each step
Why it's wrong here
Top-k and top-p control candidate selection; temperature affects probability distribution scaling.
- ✓
The degree of randomness in the generated output
Why this is correct
Temperature directly influences randomness: low values produce focused outputs, high values produce diverse outputs.
- ✗
The similarity to the training data distribution
Why it's wrong here
Temperature does not directly measure similarity to training data.
- ✗
The maximum number of tokens to generate
Why it's wrong here
Max tokens controls length, not randomness.
