"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Nah. LLMs use a random seed to noise the parameters.
Same input + same seed = same output every time. (Kinda like Minecraft)
LLM providers just always use a random seed for stuff like this.
Repeatability is still not easy to guarantee. A version upgrade in a library might yield a slightly different result from the same seed
I’d argue repeatability is impossible to guarantee. Any cloud based computing with floating point math is subject to variance. Bare metal local LLM computing can be relatively stable, but still suffers from precision error from your GPU.
