    So, what are the odds this was done with an open-weight LLM?

      Uh 0%?

      There are many people that run open weight LLMs. And unsurprisingly, they don't all have a copy of the FBI employee database.

      If you mean "using" an open weight LLM in combination with other tools or even potentially frontier models, then that's a lot more likely.

        Well, I haven't tried asking my open-weight LLM for the FBI employee database. I imagine most people haven't.

      Do you mean it will be blamed on them as an excuse to ban them in protection of openai/anthropic?
