  • Temperature sets how far the model strays from the most likely answer.
  • Smart search pays off when the answer is spread across the story; it costs extra requests on the Retrieval planner role.
  • Always-on knowledge is sent every time; keep it short. Searchable knowledge can be long.
  • Max reply tokens reserves room in every request. Keep it near what the job needs.
