There is a parameter in llms called temperature. If you reduce it down to zero it will become deterministic. And probably even worse.

Yeah but the output would be crap. Just use the same prng seed and you'll get reproducible output.

If you do that it will basically produce the most average possible output, given the context. I don't know if that's going to be useful in a compiler context..
