Reproducing LLM research faces a special difficulty: the object of study (the model) itself is drifting, and under the same prompt and evaluation pipeline, the output distribution of a new version of the model may already be markedly different.

VerifiedThe output of LLMs is inherently non-deterministic; even with the same Prompt as input, the model may return results with different formats, content, or even logic at different times.75% similarVerifiedThe inconsistency of LLMs is closely related to the model's temperature parameter and stochastic sampling process, and multiple calls to the same model with the same question may produce different answers.73% similarUnverifiedIn LLM inference infrastructure, when multiple model versions share the same inference cluster, a surge in traffic for one version or an abnormal model load may crowd out the resources of other versions, causing the error rate for a specific model to rise while other platform services appear normal.72% similarUnverifiedModel drift can cause downstream parsing logic in production systems that rely on LLMs to fail silently—no errors are reported but the output deviates from expectations.71% similarUnverifiedThe conclusions of many LLM papers are in fact 'a certain model at a certain point in time exhibited a certain behavior', yet they are often stated as general claims about 'LLMs'; after a model generation change, these claims are neither falsified nor confirmed—they simply quietly lapse.71% similar
