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.

I think the better statement is likely "LLMs are typically not executed in a deterministic manner", since you're right there are no non deterministic properties interment to the models themselves that I'm aware of
