Paper argues deterministic LLM inference kills cognition and safety

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper argues against deterministic inference in large language models, asserting that it hinders the ability to model uncertainty, suppress emergent abilities, and weaken safety alignment. The authors propose 'Stochastic CHAOS,' which treats distributional variability as a controllable signal. They demonstrate that deterministic inference underestimates model capabilities and fragility, masks emergent abilities, degrades reasoning, and hides tail risks. AI

IMPACT Advocates for stochastic inference in LLMs, potentially improving uncertainty modeling, emergent abilities, and safety alignment.

    Stochastic CHAOS: Why Deterministic Inference Kills, and Distributional Variability Is the Heartbeat of Artifical Cognition

    arXiv:2601.07239v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Deterministic inference is a comforting ideal in classical software: the same program on the same input should always produce the same output. As large language models move into real-world deployment, this ideal has been importe…
