Have you tried replicating via the API with a temp of 0?

[belter]

No I did not.

Using a temp of zero usually returns garbage results from most models, so it would likely do so in case of GPT 4 as well. Any other great ideas?

[taberiand]

The point isn't that temp 0 should be used, the point is that anyone surprised that they get different results should realise that there is an element of randomness involved by default.

Even repeating the same question in a single chat can have GPT-4 vary on its output, though it will often settle on a particular output due to context informing the output (which is why adding context is so important for these models)

Temp of 0 gives the least random and most predictable results

[Grimblewald]

Not in my experience, in fact I find that when I need precise, realistic, and reliable results temp 0 is needed. For example, here is a bunch of names, gather the names of specific plastics under headings matching their common acronym - if I don't use temp 0 I might get nonsense out. Temp 0? reliably correct.

What do you mean? It works fine for me when I’ve tried it
