You don't need RNG since the whole transformer is an extremely large floating-point arithmetic unit. A wild guess - how about the source of non-determinism is coming from the fact that, on the HW level, tensor execution order is not guaranteed and therefore (T0 * T1) * T2 can produce slightly different results than T0 * (T1 * T2) due to rounding errors?
