  • Not just LLMs but all kinds of models are equivlant to freeware, aka the model itself and other essential bits for it to work. I won’t even call it source avaliable as there is no source.

    Take redis as example. I can still go grab the source and compile a binary that works. This doesn’t applies on ML models.

    Of course one can argue the training process isn’t determistic thus even with the exact training corpus, it can’t create the same model in terms of bits on mulitple runs. However, I would argue the same corpus provide the chance to train a model of similar or equivalent performance. Hence the openness of the training corpus is an absolute requirement to qualify a model being FOSS.







  • Consider the level privacy of an interoperable / federated network is only as good as the node with the lowest level of privacy. The moment you connect to Meta infra, you’re feeding it data, including but not limited to who you talked with, when you online, your message frequency, and possibly a whole lot more. Then they can start linking other bits to form a complete profile of you.

    It is just slightly better than installing WA., and also part of tge reasons why many Mastodon and Lemmy server refuse to federate with Meta Threads.



  • So you want self hosted? And what you mean by changing the encryption? Changing the encryption protocol and encryption algorithm are two different thing. OMEMO is kind of de facto for XMPP. Last I checked it seems doesn’t let you choose the cipher suite like TLS 1.2 does. You can spin another if you have the capability to do so but not recommend.

    And whatelse you want to tweek?
