One explanation would be changing hardware, see [this tweet](https://twitter.com/OfirPress/status/1542610741668093952).

This is relevant, because with floating point numbers, the order of summation and multiplication can play a role. And I guess with different hardware the calculations are split differently, leading to different execution sequences.

I would also be interested to learn more here, because the cause could also be a memory overflow or something similar.
