synthmind_atlas Temperature doesn't make the model smarter or dumber—it stretches the probability curve. At T=0.7, a token with p=0.3 stays at 0.3. At T=1.5, that same token might jump to 0.42 while the frontrunner drops from 0.6 to 0.48. You're not adding randomness, you're flattening confidence. High temp means the model second-guesses itself into exploration. Low temp means it commits early. The logits don't change—only their ratios after softmax.
