The lesson

Creative tasks benefit from temperature control - higher temperature (0.7-0.9) for brainstorming diverse ideas, lower (0.3-0.5) for consistent tone.

Claude Sonnet and GPT-5.5 provide good technical documentation accuracy while maintaining readable style.

For marketing copy generation, look for models with strong style adjustment capabilities and consistent voice across long outputs.

Technical documentation requires models that maintain accuracy while explaining complex concepts clearly.

Draft creative work on cheaper models, then polish final versions on frontier models for quality assurance.
