What Is Temperature in AI — AI Sampling Explained

ENCYCLOPEDIA ENTRY

What Is Temperature?

Temperature controls the creativity vs. predictability of AI output. Low temperatures (0.1–0.3) produce focused responses. High temperatures (0.8–1.5) produce creative, surprising output.

Temperature and the Vial

Stiforp tells the story of "the corrupted vial. The flooded block. The boardroom that was never clean." A client took something that was supposed to help and was damaged by it instead. Temperature is the same: at the right setting, it unlocks creativity. At the wrong setting, the output is corrupted. With Soul Architect, you adjust your soul's temperature dynamically — precise when you need analysis, creative when you need vision. The right setting for the right session.
