Are you sure? "brute forces the problems by generating a million solutions and then tries to trim that down" isn't how I would describe the way a LLM works.

The original AlphaCode paper in Nature explains the approach, they generate many potential solutions with the LLM and do a lot of processing after to select candidates. Here's where the probabilistic nature of LLMs hurts, I think.
