The piece discusses concerns about using third‑party large language model (LLM) proxies, noting that without operating your own proxy you lack visibility into request handling, data logging, and potential model modifications. It outlines risks such as hidden throttling, privacy exposure, and biased outputs, and recommends self‑hosting or open‑source proxies to maintain control and auditability effectively.
