@Posit so how is this being paid for? Does this require a connection to remote AI infrastructure to work? If so, what guardrails are there around who might see/record the queries submitted by users? Whose code was it trained on and what license was that code provided under?

- How is this being paid for? Posit is paying for the LLM usage.
- Does this require a connection to remote AI infrastructure to work? Yes, we are using Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet via API. In the future, we may log the conversations for training and research purposes.
- Whose code was it trained on and what license was that code provided under? It was trained on whatever Anthropic decided to use for Claude 3.5 Sonnet. We (Posit) also added some example code in the system prompt.
