- azakai 6mo agoThe hardware can also add nondeterminism. GPUs reorder operations, leading to different results. Vendors might also be running A/B testing or who knows what, even when you ask for a temperature of 0. But, if you run a fixed model with temperature 0 on your local CPU, it will be deterministic (unless there are bugs).
