Open-Source vs. Closed-Source LLMs: Tradeoffs

Dan Leszkowicz: There is not a one size fits all answer for that. It depends on what you’re doing. I personally, in my way of working within Pienso, use both, but it depends on the task. We threw out some examples where closed-source, ChatGPT type agentic interface is super appropriate. I definitely use that every day, for more discriminative tasks, tasks that need to happen at scale with high precision, for automation purposes or analytics purposes. Those, we tend to gravitate towards open-source models. But it is very much a tradeoff. I expect the space to continue to leapfrog as individual models improve.
