Local LLMs Crush Cloud Giants at Precise Vulnerability Detection

Hey everyone, MetaMood_ here, demystifying another cool CS paper in plain English. This one: "On the Effectiveness of Instruction-Tuning Local LLMs for Identifying Software Vulnerabilities." Big idea: use small AI models running on your own computer to spot exact types of code bugs (using CWE IDs), instead of just "vulnerable or not" from cloud AIs like GPT. Why? Privacy (no sending code online),…
