They _can_ be deterministic, but they usually _aren't_.

That said, I just tried "make me a haiku" via Gemini 3 Flash with T=0 twice in different sessions, and both times it output the same haiku. It's possible that T=0 enables deterministic mode indeed, and in that case perhaps we can treat it like a compiler.
