Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Improved model interpretability
Why it's wrong here
Interpretability is generally harder for large models.
- ✗
Reduced inference latency compared to custom models
Why it's wrong here
This is a potential benefit, not a risk.
- ✗
Automatic hardware acceleration
Why it's wrong here
This is a hardware benefit.
- ✓
Hidden backdoors injected into the model weights
Why this is correct
Malicious actors can embed triggers in public models.
- ✓
Legal and compliance risks from unlicensed training data
Why this is correct
Unverified models may violate intellectual property rights.
