The amount of problems where people are choosing a temperature of 0 are negligible though. The reason I chose the wording “implementations of models you’re talking to today” was because in reality this is almost never where people land, and certainly not what any popular commercial surfaces are using (Claude code, any LLM chat interface).
And regardless, turning this into a system that has some notion of strategic consistency or contextual steering seems like a remarkably easy problem. Treating it as one API call in, one deterministic and constrained choice out is wrong.
