> GPUs put the associativity of the sums in matrix multiplications in arbitrary order

That’s user-controlled too, not an inherent property of GPUs:

The matrix multiplication is only deterministic for sparse-dense products under these settings:

> torch.bmm() when called on sparse-dense CUDA tensors

And it's not listed under the operations that raise an exception otherwise, so I'm not sure the docs promise that dense-dense matrix-matrix products are deterministic.
