Pretty sure that's exactly what LLMs in coding harnesses are.

Still not deterministic

  • You understand that computer programs are deterministic unless someone explicitly injects non-determinism in them, right?

    Even when they implement LLMs.

    • To the people downvoting me - I'm sorry, but it's true.

      I know ChatGPT seems like it's non-deterministic - but that just a user preference.

      The only real issue is if you have many people on the same server, the GPU contention can be non-deterministic in rare cases.

      LLMs can be deterministic if you need them to be - it's just that most people prefer the human-like interface.
