Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source?

well duh. But why is Mozilla investing in LLM research then?

Firefox translate isn’t an llm afaik. Anyway, why wouldn’t they? LLMs aren’t inherently good or bad, they are useful, and pushing for offline local first ai is a good thing.

is the LLM or its trainingdata opensource though, do we know what it does/is trained on?

There are truly open llm, there are somewhat open. If you are asking about firefox translate, it seems that models themselves weren’t trained by mozilla.
