No, LLMs ARE deterministic, just like all computer programs are.
I get why that is in practice different then the manner in which compilers are deterministic, but my point is the difference isnt because of determinism.
I think you are misunderstanding the term "deterministic". Running on deterministic hardware does not mean an algorithm is deterministic.
Create a program that reads from /dev/random (not urandom). It's not determistic.
