# Can I control temperature, top-p, and stop tokens?

> Perplexity does not offer manual control over model parameters like temperature, top-p, or stop tokens. Developers can use the Perplexity API instead.

<p>No, Perplexity is designed for user-friendly, straightforward searches and doesn’t offer manual control over modeling parameters like temperature or top-p.</p>
