Challenges of Using LLMs and Open Source Tools in Reproducing Experiments

The rapid evolution of LLMs creates significant challenges for researchers attempting to reproduce experiments. Variations in outputs, even within a short timeframe, can undermine the robustness of scientific methods. When foundational inputs, like models or tools, change unexpectedly, it risks the integrity of the research, indicating potential weaknesses in the methodology. Building custom tools and models allows researchers to maintain control over versioning and changes, thus enhancing the reproducibility of their experiments. This approach is particularly vital in fields demanding precise data stability, as it enables researchers to ensure that their investigations accurately reflect the phenomena they are studying.
