A developer debugging an AI translation app found identical inputs produced different outputs. The cause was not a race condition but floating-point rounding noise on near-tied candidate scores. The fix involved changing the input prompt to create a wider scoring margin, not enforcing strict determinism.
AI bugs are moving from state management to model confidence. Founders must now debug model internals, not just application-level race conditions.
