Where are you getting the non-determinism part from? It would seem surprising for there to be anything non-deterministic about an ML model like this, and nothing in the original reports seems to suggest that either.
Large ML models tend to be uncorrectably non-deterministic simply from doing lots of floating point math in parallel. Addition and multiplication of floats is neither commutative nor associative - you may get different results depending on the order in which you add/multiply numbers.

I think there may be some confusion of ideas going in here. Machine learning is fundamentally stochastic, so it is non-deterministic almost by definition.
