> LLMs are not deterministic

They can be. The cloud-hosted LLMs add a gratuitous randomization step to make the output seem more human. (In vein with the moronic idea of selling LLM's as sci-fi human-like assistants.)

But you don't have to add those randomizations. Nothing much is lost if you don't. (Output from my self-hosted LLM's is deterministic.)



Even at temperature = 0, LLM output is not guaranteed to be deterministic. https://www.vincentschmalbach.com/does-temperature-0-guarant...
