Next-Word Machine
Every impressive AI answer is generated the same humble way: probabilities over the next word, pick one, repeat. Here you get to BE the model — watch the distribution, turn the temperature dial, and feel why low temperature is reliable-but-boring and high temperature is creative-but-chaotic.

A language model writes one word at a time: look at the text so far, get a probability for every possible next word, pick one, repeat. Do it yourself below.

The word options here are hand-written, but the temperature math is the real formula (each probability is raised to 1/T and renormalized). A real model does exactly this — over a vocabulary of ~100,000 tokens, at every single word. More in What Is AI, Actually?
The model's next-word probabilities

At temperature 1.0 you see the model's honest probabilities. Slide down and the favorite dominates; slide up and the long shots get their chance.
