Yes, you can pass a seed value to the LLM to ensure consistent responses. The seed initializes the random number generator, which affects the text generation process. By setting a specific seed, you can obtain reproducible results across multiple runs with the same input and settings. Here’s how you can set the seed: • Command Line Argument: Use

--seed SEED

. For example:

--seed 42

. • JSON Configuration: Include the seed in the JSON configuration. For example:

{
  "n_predict": 256,
  "seed": 42,
  ...
}

If the seed is set to a value less than 0, a random seed will be used, resulting in different outputs on each run. Sources: tools/server/server.cpp
