Is the "seed" parameter supported in Azure OpenAI? I want to reduce the randomness of responses to the same prompt/configuration and found that OpenAI has a "seed" parameter that can help by using the same integer. However, our API documentation does not mention this parameter. Can someone confirm whether it's supported or not?
Hi Jai-6363
I guess the seed parameter is not supported in OpenAI, and for more info on this follow the below link and keep updated on this via documentation as you are.

By default if you ask an Azure OpenAI Chat Completion model the same question multiple times you are likely to get a different response. The responses are therefore considered to be non-deterministic. Reproducible output is a new preview feature that allows you to selectively change the default behavior towards producing more deterministic outputs.
Reproducible output support:
Reproducible output is only currently supported with the following:

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.
The seed parameter you are looking for is available in gpt-35-turbo-1106 and in the newly announced GPT-4-Turbo (gpt-4-1106-preview) model.
