    Yeah no, that’s not how this works.

    Where in the process does that seed play a role and what do you even mean with numerical noise?

    Edit: I feel like I should add that I am very interested in learning more. If you can provide me with any sources to show that GPTs are inherently random I am happy to eat my own hat.

        I appreciate the constructive comment.

        Unfortunately the API docs are incomplete (insert obi wan meme here). The seed value is both optional and irrelevant when setting the temperature to 0. I just tested it.

        Addendum:

        The docs say

        For reproducible outputs, set temperature to 0 and seed to a number:

        But what they should say is

        For reproducible outputs, set temperature to 0 or seed to a number:

        Easy mistake to make
