Frequently Asked Questions

Why don’t we get the same answer when specifying a temperature field of 0 and asking the same question?

Even when specifying a temperature field of 0, it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll always get the same response. Several factors come into play.

  1. Go OpenAI Behavior: When you specify a temperature field of 0 in Go OpenAI, the omitempty tag causes that field to be removed from the request. Consequently, the OpenAI API applies the default value of 1.
  2. Token Count for Input/Output: If there’s a large number of tokens in the input and output, setting the temperature to 0 can still result in non-deterministic behavior. In particular, when using around 32k tokens, the likelihood of non-deterministic behavior becomes highest even with a temperature of 0.

Due to the factors mentioned above, different answers may be returned even for the same question.

Workarounds:

  1. As of November 2023, use the new seed parameter in conjunction with the system_fingerprint response field, alongside Temperature management.
  2. Try using math.SmallestNonzeroFloat32: By specifying math.SmallestNonzeroFloat32 in the temperature field instead of 0, you can mimic the behavior of setting it to 0.
  3. Limiting Token Count: By limiting the number of tokens in the input and output and especially avoiding large requests close to 32k tokens, you can reduce the risk of non-deterministic behavior.

By adopting these strategies, you can expect more consistent results.

Does Go OpenAI provide a method to count tokens?

No, Go OpenAI does not offer a feature to count tokens, and there are no plans to provide such a feature in the future. However, if there’s a way to implement a token counting feature with zero dependencies, it might be possible to merge that feature into Go OpenAI. Otherwise, it would be more appropriate to implement it in a dedicated library or repository.
