Boost for the road!
I’d like to hear your opinion on Open Source LLMs. If an LLM is Open Source, how much can we know about the security and telemetry of that model? If the source code is visible and we can audit it, can we be reassured of what’s being logged or used for training, or is it still a black box?
I’m having a debate with a friend at the moment, he says that LLMs are black boxes, even if they are Open Source.
What say you?
