You can get determinostic output (mostly) by setting the temperature to zero. Using couple of other tricks you can get close to 100% of determinism with LLMs.

That's reproducible, I wouldn't call it deterministic. Small, semantically meaningless changes in the input can still result in wildly different output.

  • That's the definition of a chaotic system (small change in initial conditions results in large, seemingly -- but not actually -- random changes in output), but it's still deterministic (same input results in same output).
