Deterministic output is needed when LLMs are used for validations. This can be anything from input validation at runtime to a CI check leveraging LLMs. It can be argued this is not an acceptable use of AI, but it will become increasingly common and it will need to be tweaked/tested. You cannot tweak/test a response you don't know you're going to get.
yeah indeed, regression testing for chatbots that use RAGs would involve making sure the correct response comes from the RAG.
Today we have a extremely hacky workaround by ensuring that at least the desired chunk from the RAG is selected, but it's far from ideal and our code is not well written (a temporary POC written by AI that has been there for quite some months now ...)
