Question

You are building an internal tool that uses Claude to convert user-entered addresses into a standardized format. Your team requires that the same input address produce the same normalized output as consistently as possible across repeated calls. Which adjustment to the Messages API request best supports this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Set temperature to a low value near 0 to make outputs more deterministic and consistent

Answer

Set temperature to a high value near 1 to give the model more flexibility to produce accurate results

Answer

Increase max_tokens so the model has room to consider more possible formats

Answer

Add multiple stop sequences so the model halts before introducing variation
