Reproducibility issues in LLM evaluations have been identified, stemming not from sampling parameters like temperature, but from underlying inference engine behavior and provider routing. Specifically, floating-point variations in batch processing and silent routing to different model versions caused inconsistent evaluation scores. The solutions involved dedicating specific serving configurations with pinned batch sizes and eager execution modes, alongside implementing robust logging to track the exact model and provider serving each request.
