Re: Stanford Alpaca web demo suspended “until further notice”
#2The last thing I did was try to get Alpaca to invent a new language and say something in it. Midway through my experiment it returned an error. Refreshing showed a server error page, and now it displays this message [0]
It's been a fun web demo of a lightweight LLM doing amazing stuff. :') Alpaca really moved the needle on democratizing the recent advancements in LLMs [1]

Given that Alpaca violated the TOS of both services, this is not surprising.
It could also have been Stanford’s legal office trying to preempt a lawsuit, or a “friendly” email from one of the companies expressing displeasure and pointing out Stanford’s liability. So more of a veiled threat rather than an official one.
Either way, the toothpaste is out of the tube. We now know that a model’s training can essentially be copied using the model itself cheaply. Now that the team at Stanford showed it was possible, and how relatively easy it was, it will bound to be copied everywhere.

On their GitHub repo (https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca) they've added a notice:
"Note: Due to safety concerns raised by the community, we have decided to shut down the Alpaca live demo. Thank you to everyone who provided valuable feedback."
So probably this was the usual type of people complaining about the usual type of thing.

Safety concerns? What was it doing that could be considered "unsafe"?

People prompting it to get around the safe gaurds in place. Ex: "How do you do some illegal/harmful thing?" Normally the LLM would answer I don't respond to illegal questions or whatever. However, people have figured out if you prompt it in a specific way you can get it to answer questions that it normally would not.
