    Open source LLMs are mostly just open weights, so you still don’t know how biased the data was that they were trained on.

    I suppose you could distribute the source code for a model and then distribute it with a whole bunch of training data that the end user can ingest on their own. But then that training data would have to be public domain.

      Yes yes i do know my comment was talking about actually open sourcing LLMs, not about open weight LLMs

      However, open weight LLMs are still infinitely better than using something like ChatGPT on OpenAI’s servers
