Overview
The Text generation block generates text using a Palmyra model. Use it for text completions, summaries, creative writing, and more. You provide a prompt, and the model generates a response based on your instructions. You can control the creativity of the output using the temperature setting, and limit the length with the max output tokens field.Common use cases
- Generating summaries or explanations
- Creative writing such as stories, marketing copy, and abstracts
- Expanding or rewriting text
- Answering questions based on a prompt
How it works
- Prompt: Enter the text or instructions for the model.
- Model: Select the model to use for generation. Learn more about the suite of Palmyra models.
- Temperature: Adjusts randomness and creativity. A higher temperature value like 0.7-1.0 makes the output more creative, while a lower temperature value like 0.0-0.3 makes it more deterministic.
- Max output tokens: Sets the maximum length of the generated text.
