A prompt engineer wants to reduce the model's tendency to generate overly creative or off-topic responses when summarizing financial reports. Which parameter adjustment is MOST appropriate?

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 (e.g., to 0.2) makes the model more deterministic and focused, reducing creativity and off-topic responses.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Increase top-k to 100

    Why it's wrong here

    Higher top-k increases vocabulary diversity, which may increase off-topic responses.

  • Decrease temperature to 0.2

    Why this is correct

    Lower temperature makes outputs more focused and less random.

  • Decrease frequency penalty to 0

    Why it's wrong here

    Frequency penalty affects repetition, not creativity.

  • Increase temperature to 1.0

    Why it's wrong here

    Higher temperature increases creativity, worsening the problem.
