I'm not an ML guy but I was curious about this recently. There is some parameter that can be tuned to produce determinism but currently it also produces worse results. Big [citation needed], but worth a google if it's of interest. Otherwise in agreement with your post.
Temperature? Definitely tweaks the results…but I don’t know if “deterministic” is a term you can use in any way, shape, or form, in the context of LLMs.
