For this reference, it includes relevant state and versions, not just a prompt’s words. PyTorch documents that complete reproducibility is not guaranteed across releases and platforms or between CPU and GPU, even with matching seeds. Source: PyTorch. Thinking Machines Lab also distinguishes temperature-zero sampling from the reproducibility of practical LLM inference. Read the introduction. Is determinism the same as correctness? No. As an illustrative example, a calculation that consistently adds an incorrect fee is repeatable but wrong.
