What you'll learn
Spot hidden risk surfaces
Identify where licensing, data provenance, model behavior, and deployment assumptions can create unexpected exposure.
Ask better evaluation questions
Separate broad benchmark claims from the checks your own use case needs before adoption.
Choose safer next steps
Use a lightweight review checklist to decide whether to test, limit, or avoid an open-source model.
