# Foundation Model Transparency Index

Stanford University has created what they call '**Foundation Model Transparency Index'**. Stanford compared 10 different Chat Bots to find out which ones were the **most transparent.**

&#x20;They were scored on a 100 different indicators things like;

* **How the data was trained**
* **The labor that went into it**&#x20;
* **The compute power necessary**&#x20;
* **The Risks**&#x20;
* **The distribution**&#x20;
* **Feedback .. and much more**

What it found was that Meta and their Llama 2 are the most transparent followed by Hugging Face, then OpenAI and then Stability all the way on down to Amazon being the least transparent with their Titan model.&#x20;

Stanford Concluded that developers can significantly improve transparency by adopting best practices from their competitors and that the open foundation model developers are leading the way.

Oddly **OpenAI** beat **StabilityAI** even though of Stability’s Models are Open and available for people to play around with.
