Recently, [arXiv:2302.01361] considered spin glass models with additional conventional order parameters characterizing single-replica properties. These parameters are distinct from the standard order parameter used to measure correlations between replicas. A "min-max" formula for the free energy was prescribed in [arXiv:2302.01361]. We rigorously verify this prescription in the setting of vector spin glass models featuring additional deterministic spin interactions. Notably, our results can be viewed as a generalization of the Parisi formula for vector spin glass models in [arXiv:1512.04441], where the order parameter for self-overlap is already present.
