About this tool

An educational, illustrative simulator showing how the temperature parameter reshapes a token probability distribution — using a local demo distribution, not a live model call.

How to use

  1. Adjust the temperature slider.
  2. Watch how the demo probability distribution flattens (higher temperature) or sharpens (lower temperature).
  3. Use the visualization to build intuition, not to predict a specific real model's output.

FAQ

Does this call a real AI model?

No. This is a transparent, illustrative simulation using a fixed local demo distribution to visually explain the concept of temperature — it does not reflect any specific model's real output.

What does temperature actually do in real models?

Temperature rescales the model's output probability distribution before sampling: lower values make high-probability tokens even more likely (more deterministic output), higher values flatten the distribution (more random, diverse output).
