> The new seed parameter enables reproducible outputs by making the model return consistent completions most of the time. This beta feature is useful for use cases such as replaying requests for debugging, writing more comprehensive unit tests, and generally having a higher degree of control over the model behavior. We at OpenAI have been using this feature internally for our own unit tests and have found it invaluable
This will be useful when refining prompts. When running tests, at times I wasn't sure if any improvement from a prompt change was the result of random variation or an actual improvement.
