Maybe a valid comparison if the AI folks published similar numbers

Since when do we need just one statistic to properly analyze something? Give us median, give us average, give us p75 and p99 and p100.

But temperature is a thing for a reason.. some level of non-determinism makes them MORE useful in a lot of cases. So perhaps we can trade determinism for being less useful.. is that still providing the business value though?

The answer as always is probably.. it depends. 😶‍🌫️

Aren’t there also cases like temperature support being removed from (at least some GPT-5 models)?

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

It also follows immediately after the next biggest hype wave (crypto / web3) and seems like a bunch of hucksters just jumped from one to the other.
