> It’s worth noting that LLMs are non-deterministic,

This is probably better phrased as "LLMs may not provide consistent answers due to changing data and built-in randomness."

Barring rare(?) GPU race conditions, LLMs produce the same output given the same inputs.

It doesn’t mean it’s non-deterministic though.

But it does when coupled with non-deterministic requests batching, which is the case.
