Large Language Models (LLMs) have been recently proposed for trajectory prediction in autonomous driving, where they potentially can provide explainable reasoning capability about driving situations. Most studies use versions of the OpenAI GPT, while there are open-source alternatives which have not been evaluated in this context. In this report1, we study their trajectory prediction performance as well as their ability to reason about the situation. Our results indicate that open-source alternatives are feasible for trajectory prediction. However, their ability to describe situations and reason about potential consequences of actions appears limited, and warrants future research.
