You are arguing metaphysics but this conversation is about computer science.

In computer science, pseudorandomness is considered non-deterministic. Determinism is a function of the inputs, not the machine state.

LLMs are fully deterministic in that sense: same input, same outputs.

Because full determinism is not always desirable, the researchers have implemented an explicit "temperature" parameter that you can use to inject randomness to the outputs. If you set that to 0.0 you will always receive the same output for the same input and model version.
