How Open Must Language Models be to Enable Reliable Scientific Inference? arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis
  • Closed model performance can vary by up to 60% across undocumented version updates, making past benchmark results irreproducible.
  • The paper defines open-weight models as providing complete weights, tokenizer, full architecture, and sufficient code to run independently.
  • Authors recommend researchers justify model selection and systematically document threats to inference when using LLMs in research.
