If you can't observe a local LLM, why trust it? Open-source harness pushes observability first
KitchenAmoeba4438 · reddit · 2026-09-25
A Reddit post argues local LLMs shouldn't be trusted without observability: black-box harnesses and fly-by-night model publishers make it impossible to verify what a model is doing, and recent security incidents raise the stakes. The author links a deep-dive blog post and open-source code showing an approach that works for any harness built on the Anthropic or OpenAI API, urging that observability be a first-class citizen in harness design rather than an afterthought.
