Random Result #57

I would like to ask why the results are different each time even though I have fixed the random seed.

This should not happen because in eval model dropout is turned off: https://github.com/google-research/timesfm/blob/master/src/timesfm.py#L307

Are you seeing randomness on GPU or CPU and if so what is the magnitude of randomness relative to the prediced value?
