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.

You're missing the point. I'm not saying that compilers are nondeterminitsic or that LLMs are deterministic. I'm saying that it doesn't matter. No one cares about deterministic results except programmers. The non-technical user who will make software in the future just knows that he gets what he asked for.
