AI0-001 AI Concepts and Techniques Practice Question
A company is deploying a large language model for customer support. They want to reduce the number of off-topic or nonsensical responses while maintaining creativity. Which parameter adjustment would BEST achieve this?
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
✓
Decrease temperature to 0.2
Lowering temperature makes the model more deterministic and less likely to produce random outputs. Top-p and top-k can also help but are secondary; temperature directly controls randomness.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Decrease temperature to 0.2
Why this is correct
Lower temperature reduces randomness, making the model more focused and less likely to generate nonsensical outputs.
- ✗
Set top-p to 0.1
Why it's wrong here
Top-p controls nucleus sampling; a low top-p can limit creativity but may also cut off plausible continuations.
- ✗
Increase top-k to 100
Why it's wrong here
Increasing top-k considers more tokens, which can increase randomness and off-topic responses.
- ✗
Increase temperature to 0.9
Why it's wrong here
Higher temperature increases randomness, likely producing more off-topic responses.
