You can change ANY sampling parameter once batch processing is off and you will keep the deterministic behavior. temperature, repetition penalty, etc.... I got to say I'm a bit disappointed in seeing this in hacker news, as I expect this from reddit. you bring the whole matter on a silver platter, the video describes in detail how any sampling parameter can be used, i provide the whole code opensource so anyone can try it themselves without taking my claims as hearsay, well you can bring a horse to water as they say....
