I am not sure what method DDG is using for their model updates, I think it’s only fair if journalists follow up with them for clarification. Local LLMs, ones you can download to your machine for use, would circumvent privacy concerns if you’re not updating the weights in some way
Edit to clarify I meant updating the weights using online learning, but it’s still possible to update weights using pre trained weights you can download
