Abstract

Determinism is a limitation, if not the greatest one, of current Large Language Models (LLMs) concerning production use. These set of papers aims to shed light on a technique to enfore determinism through a probabilistic machine and establish a case for how it can be used to improve inference-time efficiency by multiple orders of magnitude. Both these papers close in on this idea of 'Fungible Software' from two directions: 'NLC paper' bottom-up & 'The Case...' top-down.


Note: The 'Fungible Software' paper is a work-in-progress. If you're a16z, please expect to a few incomplete arguments in Appendix B, although the facts & figures are already accurate.
