3. Using Temperature and Max Tokens

Description:

When generating outputs, LLMs can introduce randomness and vary the length of responses through ‘temperature’ and ‘max tokens’ settings.

Example:

- Setting temperature to 0.2 will produce more deterministic outputs.
- Setting max tokens to 50 can limit excessively verbose responses.

Strategy:

- Adjust Settings: Experiment with temperature to find a balance between creativity and accuracy. Use max tokens to ensure the response length is appropriate for the context.
