Thinking Machines Releases First Research: Defeating Nondeterminism in LLM Inference : Thinking Machines, founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, released its first research paper addressing the issue of non-reproducible LLM inference results. The study points out that floating-point non-associativity and concurrent execution are not the sole causes, with batch invariance identified as the primary culprit, meaning the output of a single request is affected by the number of requests in the same batch. By designing batch-invariant kernels (for RMSNorm, matrix multiplication, and attention mechanisms), the team successfully achieved 1000 identical results on the Qwen/Qwen3-235B-A22B-Instruct-2507 model and validated its stability in online policy reinforcement learning.
