There is always an exciting new hashtag #LLM model coming out these days. If you are trying to build something practical for right now, this could actually be a headache for you. In this video, I present arguments related to cost, model lifecycle, and safety to the effect that one needs to beware the parade of new models. I also provide one more voice in favor of the open-source, locally hosted model as I perceive it to be the least vulnerable to the issues I discuss.
