I'll grant that you can guarantee the length of the output and, being a computer program, it's possible (though not always in practice) to rerun and get the same result each time, but that's not guaranteeing anything about said output.

What do you want to guarantee about the output, that it follows a given structure? Unless you map out all inputs and outputs, no it's not possible, but to say that it is a fundamental property of LLMs to be non deterministic is false, which is what I was inferring you meant, perhaps that was not what you implied.

You can guarantee what you have test coverage for :)
