# 🎛️ Model Settings Learning Module

## 🚀 Quick Start

1. **Navigate to the module:**
   ```bash
   cd 01_ai_agents_first/07_model_settings/hello_agent
   ```

2. **Install dependencies:**
   ```bash
   uv add openai-agents
   ```

3. **Run the learning examples:**
   ```bash
   python main.py
   ```

## 📚 What You'll Learn

This module teaches you how to fine-tune your AI agents using **Model Settings**:

- **Temperature**: Control creativity vs. precision
- **Tool Choice**: Decide when agents can use tools
- **Max Tokens**: Control response length
- **Combining Settings**: Create specialized agents

## 🎯 Learning Progression

1. **Start Simple**: Temperature settings (creativity control)
2. **Add Tools**: Tool choice settings (when to use tools)
3. **Control Length**: Max tokens (response size)
4. **Master It**: Combine multiple settings

## 🧪 Examples Included

- **Temperature Experiment**: Compare cold vs. hot agents
- **Tool Choice Demo**: Auto vs. required vs. none
- **Length Control**: Brief vs. detailed responses
- **Combined Settings**: Specialized math tutor
- **Interactive Experiment**: Try your own settings

## 💡 Key Concepts

### Temperature (The Creativity Knob)
- **Low (0.1-0.3)**: Precise, consistent answers
- **Medium (0.4-0.6)**: Balanced responses
- **High (0.7-0.9)**: Creative, varied responses

### Tool Choice (The Tool Switch)
- **Auto**: Agent decides when to use tools
- **Required**: Agent must use tools when available
- **None**: Agent cannot use tools (chat only)

### Max Tokens (The Length Limit)
- **Low (50-100)**: Brief, concise responses
- **Medium (200-500)**: Detailed explanations
- **High (1000+)**: Comprehensive answers

## 🎓 Tips for Success

1. **Start with defaults**: Don't change settings unless needed
2. **Test one setting at a time**: See the impact of each change
3. **Document your experiments**: Keep notes on what works
4. **Consider your use case**: Different tasks need different settings
