Managing Wait Times

Since this is a free platform, you may need to wait in a 'queue' before the AI generates a response, especially when requesting complex programming code.

The Temperature Parameter

Temperature controls the level of AI 'randomness'. A value of 0 makes the AI highly consistent and factual (ideal for data and code), while values closer to 1 make the AI more varied and creative (ideal for creative writing).

Variety of AI Models

Nvidia NIM isn't limited to text; you can explore other categories in the left sidebar such as 'Vision Language Models' for images, as well as specialized models for biology and simulations.
