That doesn't make a difference here. Even with a nonzero temperature, an LLM could still be deterministic as long as you have control of its random seed. As the article says:

"This gets to my core point. What changes with LLMs isn’t primarily nondeterminism, unpredictability, or hallucination. It’s that the programming interface is functionally underspecified by default."
