Does the run pin the temperature to 0 for consistency?

I've been under the impression most inference engines aren't fully deterministic with a temperature of 0 as some of the initial seed values can vary.

Note: I haven't tested this nor have I played with seed values. IIRC the inference engines I used support an explicit seed value, that is randomized by default.

No, I've never tried that.
