Trace a worked example

Goal: improve the country-code extraction and app-name ideation using temperature sampling without breaking protected slices.

Mechanism reminder for temperature sampling: For logits z and temperature T, sampling uses softmax(z/T).

Baseline and shock: with logits [2,1], T=1 gives probabilities about [0.73,0.27]; T=0.5 gives [0.88,0.12], showing concentration rather than a linear creativity dial

Tradeoff in play for temperature sampling: Low temperature improves consistency but can repeat bland or systematically wrong answers. High temperature produces diverse candidates but raises variance and review cost. Combining high temperature with broad top-p can make outputs erratic; tune one sampling control at a time.

Ship decision: T=0.2+schema for codes; T=0.8 n=20+lexicon for names; no shared creativity default.

Rollback triggers for temperature sampling must cite schema-valid rate, unique-acceptable names/20, review minutes, $/accepted output. If you cannot name a tolerated regression on the country-code extraction and app-name ideation, do not promote the change.

Keep the temperature sampling decision record beside the country-code extraction and app-name ideation code paths that implement it. Future you will not remember why a default exists unless the evidence is linked from the config for temperature sampling.

Also pin one numeric memory from this temperature sampling chapter: with logits [2,1], T=1 gives probabilities about [0.73,0.27]; T=0.5 gives [0.88,0.12], showing concentration rather than a linear creativity dial That number is not decoration; it is a template for how claims about temperature sampling on the country-code extraction and app-name ideation should look in design docs. Scoped specifically to temperature sampling / country-code extraction and app-name ideation / worked-trace.

People confuse temperature sampling with neighboring buzzwords when debugging the country-code extraction and app-name ideation. Before changing prompts, ask whether the broken stage was evidence gathering, the temperature sampling judgment itself, validation, or the product action. Fixing the wrong stage creates folklore (“we tried temperature sampling and it failed”) that blocks the next team on the country-code extraction and app-name ideation.
