An open-source model: Which model-type characteristic best satisfies this governance constraint?

AIGP Understanding How to Govern AI Deployment and Use Medium

Inspectability, modifiability, and self-hosting point to an open-source model over a closed proprietary one.

The question

A regulated insurer must deploy a model whose internal workings its own staff can inspect, modify, and self-host to meet strict auditability requirements, without depending on an external API it cannot examine. It is weighing model types. Which model-type characteristic best satisfies this governance constraint?

  1. A proprietary hosted model, accessed via the vendor's API with the provider retaining control over the underlying weights.
    Almost right as a real option, but a closed hosted model limits the inspection and modification the insurer requires.
  2. A small language model, chosen mainly to reduce inference cost and latency on the insurer's existing hardware footprint.
    Plausible but wrong: model size addresses efficiency, not the openness and inspectability the governance constraint requires.
  3. An open-source model, whose weights and code the insurer can inspect, modify, and host under its own control. ✓
    Correct because IV.A.2 distinguishes proprietary vs. open source, and open-source models allow the inspection and self-hosting the constraint demands.
  4. A multimodal model, selected to process both text and images across the insurer's varied document workflows.
    Plausible but wrong: multimodality is a capability dimension and does not address auditability or self-hosting control.
The trap
Mixing up the open-vs-proprietary axis with model size or modality when the constraint is about control and inspectability.

How to remember it

Inspectability, modifiability, and self-hosting point to an open-source model over a closed proprietary one.
