That's what I meant by "if you're using some API you have no control over, anything could happen." OpenAI could offer access to a fully deterministic version at a higher price point, but they choose not to and there's nothing you can do about that.

FYI, your source is medium-walled blog spam of https://152334h.github.io/blog/non-determinism-in-gpt-4/



If you'd read the source you linked you'd see that no, the system is inherently non-deterministic. They cannot sell you a deterministic version of GPT-4. There is no such thing. They could sell you a deterministic version of some other inferior model.


From the source, which I read:

As a consequence, the model is no longer deterministic at the sequence-level, but only at the batch-level

They could sell you a version where you shove in a whole batch, pay $batch_size as much, and always get the same result for the same batch.
