And I think you didn't understand what I wrote, so let me reiterate: Of course policies are equally ineffective at strictly governing the behavior of local models. Why would that change? The actual problem is that somebody is attempting to misuse them for that in the first place. There are only two reasons for it:
- They have no other options
OR
- They have no idea what they're doing
Local models solve the first problem, and let you apply the appropriate tool by virtue of the control you have. The alternative does not.
In-context, your reply reads like you're asserting that anthropic's offerings give you all the same control as a local model, and that having this baseline of control over a computer program is "utopian". To me that sounds more like the second problem, and nothing can help you there.

No, I’m talking about the idea up thread that having control over more settings removes all LLM defects with local models.
I have all the control I want over the local models they run. No combination of settings is going to make them outperform Anthropic’s models.
He didn't say that, and I didn't say that, because in fact neither of us were talking about just settings, so that's a pretty curious idea to be addressing.

And even this is addressing something nobody was saying, and manages to come off as a marketing read.
