The Foundation Model (LLM) Transparency Index

A new index compiled by the Stanford University Center for Research on Foundation Models (CRFM) rates the transparency of 10 foundation model companies and finds them lacking. The best, Meta’s Llama 2, only scores 54% across 100 different aspects of transparency. As LLMs become more widespread and embedded into our lives, their transparency includes the computational resources, data, and labour used to build foundation models, the specifics of their architectures and their downstream use.
