Key Questions
What vulnerability affects Ollama instances?
175k Ollama instances are vulnerable on port 11434, enabling prompt exfiltration and compute abuse. This exposes deployments to attacks.
How does LM Studio compare to Ollama in terms of memory?
LM Studio has a memory edge, using significantly less RAM than Ollama for large models like 70B, which require 48+ GB unified memory or multiple GPUs.
What legal risks are associated with RAG pipelines?
RAG pipelines in vector DBs pose legal risks due to unseen discovery liabilities in regulated enterprises. Legal teams are often not informed about these systems.
