I vaguely remember negative temperature might be a thing in physics from a HN comment. Maybe quantum bu not sure. And it is not cold but more like infinitely hot. Does anyone know or remember?

There is this famous video from 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTeBUpR17Rw

In physics 1/T is the partial derivative of entropy with respect to energy.

Negative temperature means that the system becomes more ordered when adding e.g heat.

I think we reached the end of the applicability of the analogy.

It's not working for me, it always repeats the word correctly (I'm using T = 0.001).

What model did you use? I ran this with the original Llama 13B. The newer Llama models use a different tokenizer that will have its own anomalous tokens.

i realy hate it when well knowen world like "temperature" are missused to discribe something complete out of context. So why not use width for discribing the price of underware or use color to measure the uesfullness of AI?

It's not new, been used like that since the 80's. It scales the logits in a sum of exponentials.
