Well, one of companies I worked for could have hosted a canary service for cron jobs. But we bought it instead of building because we were focused on building features. And here you’re talking about hosting an entire LLM.
- tirpen 3y agoThe cron job canary was probably not a service that employees were uploading tonnes of company confidential material into, was it? So I fail to see how the comparison makes sense. The reason companies shun OpenAI and want a self hosted alternative isn't related to costs, it's becasue they don't want their code, internal emails, documentation etc to be uploaded to Microsoft and thus also directly to the NSA.
