Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Reduce the 'max_tokens' parameter.
Why this is correct
This sets a hard limit on the number of generated tokens.
- ✗
Increase the temperature.
Why it's wrong here
This affects randomness, not verbosity.
- ✗
Enable Guardrails to truncate output.
Why it's wrong here
Guardrails are for content safety, not length control.
- ✗
Use a different model family.
Why it's wrong here
While different models have different tendencies, parameters and prompting are the primary tools.
- ✓
Update the system prompt to include 'be concise'.
Why this is correct
System prompts are effective at controlling the style and verbosity of the response.
