> If you run an open source model from the same seed on the same hardware they are completely deterministic.

Are you sure of that? Parallel scatter/gather operations may still be at the mercy of scheduling variances, due to some forms of computer math not being associative.



Sure. Just set the temperature to 0 in every model and see it become deterministic. Or use a fully deterministic PRNG like random123.
