Why it matters
Teams that depend on repeatable LLM outputs for testing, evaluation, or automated workflows may need to look beyond inference settings alone. The headline suggests that other parts of a pipeline can still introduce variation even when inference is deterministic. Readers should check the full CTGT write-up to see what was measured and which sources of variation were identified.
