On a debian system with ruby 3.2.0 Digest::MD5 and OpenSSL::Digest::MD5 have very different results for me.
On my M1 Mac they are mostly the same.

require 'benchmark'
require 'openssl'
require 'digest'

SRC = File.read '/dev/urandom', 4096

Benchmark.bmbm do |bm|
  bm.report('MD5') { 100000.times{ Digest::MD5.hexdigest(SRC) } }
  bm.report('MD5 OpenSSL') { 100000.times{ OpenSSL::Digest::MD5.new.hexdigest(SRC) } }
end
