Why the Same Question Gets Different Answers

The AI does not pick its next word. It works out the odds for every possible word, and then one gets drawn, a bit like a weighted raffle. That is why asking twice gets two answers. You will turn the randomness dial yourself and see what it can and cannot fix.A language model outputs a probability for every possible next word; software then samples one. Temperature controls how adventurous that draw is. Why answers vary, when to turn it down, and why turning it down makes answers consistent but not correct.Logits to probabilities via softmax, temperature scaling, greedy versus sampled decoding, top-k and top-p, what temperature 0 does and does not guarantee, and how to set decoding for extraction versus generation.
