Why temperature=0 isn't enough for deterministic AI agent tests

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

AI agent tests fail even with temperature=0 due to floating-point math, batching, and hardware differences. Asserting exact string matches creates flaky tests. Instead, test for structure, meaning, and measurable constraints.
