Learning objectives

  • Beginner: Explain what the temperature parameter controls and why it's set near 0 for factual/extraction tasks.
  • Intermediate: Configure ChatOptions (temperature, max tokens) per request rather than relying on provider defaults.
  • Advanced: Implement a streaming chat response end to end and explain why it improves perceived latency without changing total generation time.
