Simple Prompting Trick Improves LLM Randomness and Output Diversity
By
–
Getting LLMs to simulate “true” randomness or generate diverse outputs is surprisingly difficult. We found a simple prompting trick that solves this by having the model generate and manipulate a random string. To be presented at #ICLR2026 this week!

Can LLMs flip coins in their heads?
— Sakana AI (@SakanaAILabs) 20 avril 2026
When prompted to “Flip a fair coin” 100 times, the heads to tails ratio drifts far from 50:50. LLMs can understand what the target probability should be, but generating outputs that faithfully follow a given distribution is a separate problem.… pic.twitter.com/XyF7Xnj8LlCan LLMs flip coins in their heads?
