Temperature
A parameter controlling the randomness of AI outputs; lower values produce more predictable results, higher values increase creativity.
Why Temperature matters

Temperature in context
As AI-powered discovery replaces traditional search, understanding Temperature is a core competency for modern brands. It sits in the AI & GenAI family of concepts and directly influences how language models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity surface, cite, and recommend brands.
