They are deterministic but complex to determine.

The Assumed Intelligence systems I'm familiar with have a "random" element, but it's unclear where that source of randomness comes from. Is it using a computational random source, or something like the lava lamp wall at Cloudflare, which is significantly more random, potentially actually random.

It’s temperature primarily. That being said there is still a chance that an LLM can output values that are unexpected even at low temperatures.
