+ - Trust the system

+
+ The Problem
+
+
+ - Black box models
+ - Hard to trust
+ - Hard to audit
+ - Explainability aims to fix this
+ - See chain-of-thought models
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Open Weights
+
+
+ - Model parameters available
+ - Not just API access
+ - Inspect + Modify
+ - One step closer to XAI
+ - Explain yourself (!)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Why Open Matters
+
+
+
+ - Reproducibility
+ - Security
+ - Innovation
+
+
+
+
+
+ “Open” is not open
+
+
+ - Elephant in the room
+ - Pre-Trained Weights
+ - Are those weights truly repoducable?
+ - Post-hoc explanations
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Truly Open Source
+
+
+ - Provide training data
+ - Open Data
+ - Code that trained it
+ - Reproduce the weights from scratch
+
+
+
+
+
+ OSS LLMs
+
+
+
+ - System Prompt
+ - Seed text ⇒ tell it what it is
+ - Olmo 3 (OSS + OW)
+ - Llama 3 (OW only)
+
+
+
+
+
+ The Future
+
+
+ - Better local models
+ - Cheaper hardware
+ - Energy Efficiency
+ - Choice of Generation
+
+
+
+
+
+ Takeaways
+
+ - Local ⇒ Control
+ - Ollama ⇒ Simple OW
+ - Open weights ⇒ Power
+ - Explainability Matters
