This is a completely realistic scenario, given variance between compiler output based on optimization level, target architecture, and version.

Sure, LLMs are non-deterministic, but that doesn't matter if you never look at the code.

Optimization level, target architecture, etc are just information fed to the compiler. If it’s still nondeterministic with everything kept the same your compiler is broken.
