I try using temperature 1.2, and gpt4 response is so Interesting. Unfortunately, sometimes it produces meaningless word or random word that look like a word. Then, i tune the temperature to 1 and 1.1 . The response is so boring. Or maybe like GPT 3.5. Any recommendation temperature that similar to 1.2? Want to try by myself but the price is so costly. ---

An additional parameter `top_p`, set to .90 or lower, can remove some of the crazier tokens that could be produced by a high “creative” temperature. > [@Questions regarding API sampling parameters (temperature, top\_p)](https://community.openai.com/t/questions-regarding-api-sampling-parameters-temperature-top-p/335706/2): > > Top-p reduces the selectable tokens from the 100% probability space at 1.00 down to only those that include the top 20% (inclusively) at 0.20. It is not affected by temperature. This will make probabilities like: “banana” : 30% “apple”: 20% “orange”: 15% (all others): 35% into a limited set of logits such as: “banana” : 66.66% “apple”: 33.34% Temperature then acts, for example lowering the temperature gives more distance between choices: “banana” : 75% “apple”: 25% (temperature work…
