How Open Must Language Models be to Enable Reliable Scientific Inference?

1. 1Analyze the restrictions on model construction and deployment information
2. 2Evaluate the impact of closed models on reliable inference
3. 3Consider exceptions where closed models may be suitable for scientific purposes
4. 4Discuss ways to address issues with closed models and promote openness

Researchers and scientists benefit from understanding the implications of model openness on reliable inference, as it directly affects the validity of their research findings

💡 Closed language models can threaten reliable scientific inference due to restrictions on information about model construction and deployment
