PRODUCTION SCENARIO
A clause-drafting app runs at temperature 1.6 with top_p left at its default, and returns noticeably different wording each time the same request is sent. Reviewers need conservative, standard contract language.
Which parameter change best fits the requirement?

Answer: Lower temperature to 0.2 and leave top_p unchanged
A lower temperature 'makes the output more focused and concrete', and the guidance is explicit that 'to generate a legal document it's recommended to use a much lower temperature'. Top_p also controls the randomness of the response, but the docs name temperature for this exact scenario and temperature is the raised value here. Both do the same job, so the rule is to 'alter one of these two parameters at a time, not both'. max_tokens caps length, not variability.
