      Yeah, it’s kind of a measure of randomness for LLM responses. A low temperature makes the LLM more consistent and more reliable, a higher temperature makes it more “creative”. Same prompt on low temperature is more likely to be repeatable, high temperature introduces a higher risk of hallucinations, etc.

      Presumably Google’s “search suggestions” are done on a very low temperature, but that doesn’t prevent hallucinations, just makes it less likely.
