From what I can tell, this doesn’t re-seed the random number generator, so we shouldn’t expect deterministic results. A better test would be to examine the model’s logits, or probabilities of the next token, across different ram sizes.

Unfortunately, LAX already does have $15 pre-packaged turkey sandwiches in Terminal 5. Thankfully, there’s a chick-fil-A and Einstein’s in brand-new Terminal 1 with reasonable prices. This motivates me to fly southwest more often.
