    For local AI image generation, often the input parameters are indeed recorded into the output image. You can then use the metadata of the image to get the parameters and re-generate the exact same image. This is the definition of determinism in computer science.

      Is that what Linus is talking about in the OP? I was sure this was about code-generation. If he’s talking about images and recording the metadata then I agree with you.

          I really appreciated your explanation; it was clear and I think you’re correct. It’s disappointing that Linus is either unaware of it or doesn’t care about deterministic results.
