The author built an experiment using 1M unique entropy seeds to test if injecting structured randomness can force LLMs into more creative reasoning paths. The experiment produced surprising deviations and odd idea combinations, but also revealed a hidden puzzle layer that remains unsolved. The author asks if anyone has explored controlling entropy for prompt engineering or experimented with randomness-guided generation.

Based on 2 community responses
Controlling entropy in LLMs is an interesting area of research, and your experiment highlights its potential for creative prompt engineering. By injecting structured randomness, you can potentially push LLMs out of their usual pattern-matching behavior and into more innovative thinking. This approach can be particularly useful for applications that require novel solutions or ideas. To build upon your experiment, it's worth considering how to systematically analyze the effects of different entropy seeds on LLM outputs.
