StartLesson 3 · How a model writes: generation and temperature
Before you start
About 25 minutes · 7 steps
What you'll do
See how a model writes an answer one small piece at a time, what the temperature setting changes, and why the model forgets everything between calls.
Why it matters
Clients will ask why the same question gets different answers, and why the bot "forgot" what they said. Both come down to how a model writes.
What you'll walk away with
- What temperature does, and what it doesn't do
- Why a consistent answer isn't necessarily a correct one
- Why remembering a conversation is the app's job, not the model's
What “done” looks like
- You've run the low-vs-high temperature demo, or read the recorded runs
- You've tried the three Try it exercises
- You've answered the two quick questions
There's no Build task in this lesson. If you already know how sampling and temperature work, the two questions tell you whether you can move on.
