There may be something I do not understand about LLMs. But it seems it is more correct to say LLMs are chaotic - in the mathematical sense of sensitive dependence on initial conditions.

The only actual nondeterminism is deliberately injected. E.g. the temperature parameter. Without that, it is deterministic but chaotic. This is the case both in training LLMs, and in using the trained models.

If I missed something, someone point it out please.
