Llama 2 on togetherAI is as bad of a privacy nightmare as OpenAI

I’ve never heard of this website. In fact, only one link to this website has ever gained any traction here[0], and it wasn’t much.

Why is it surprising that a random website offering AI services might not have a great privacy policy?

I feel like there must be dozens of websites like this that offer hosting of Llama2 by now. My default assumption would be that they’re not as trustworthy as OpenAI, who has a lot to lose, where smaller companies have basically nothing to lose by comparison. If privacy is a primary concern, companies have to work to earn that trust.

This is not a random website - together is a prominent AI research company. Their chief scientist invented flashattention, which is used to train most LLMs. They release open source datasets/models like RedPajama. And they've published research around speeding up model training and newer model architectures.

I don't have any affiliation with them, but Together is hardly random and very important to the open source community, putting out some of the most useful work around things like new architectures, distributed training, datasets.
