To be fair it’s not like screwups were not happening before, but if you move 100x faster and are 50x more secure than before you’re still 2x more exposed.

Just to be clear – my comment was a joke.

Modding isn't equivalent to post-training. Modders write new code, replace assets, patch existing instructions etc. With model weights you can continue original training process – directly optimizing existing artifact to acquire new behavior. There's no equivalent general-purpose process for a compiled binaries.

Same as "airplanes are made to be used as submarines" – you just need hammer and few other tools and you're good to go.

You're conflating runtime patching with continuing development.

Post training directly evolves existing model weights using the same optimization process that created them.

Software: source code -> compiler -> binary

Models: weights + training data + optimizer -> updated weights

Ie. binary is output of the development process.

Model weights are both – it's output and it's direct input for further development.

Model weight snapshots are continuously used all the time in this iterative process from the very beginning, being output of current step and input to the next step.

Post training is general purpose method, same process that original authors used - that's not the case with binaries.

Do you have examples you can point to?

For example there are more than 100k modified weights on hugging face.

I think they were expecting them to be replanted on the roof.

Can you evolve binary like you can post train weights?

It's not them who decides if they can release it to the public but US government.

Once government clear it, it'll become available.

Same delay process will happen to new frontier models from other US labs.

As long as it's from US lab, it'll also have to go through US apparatus.

well, they don't burn it like anthropic on rent, they spend it on their own TPUs, right?

Out of all companies, with their own TPUs and native large scale computing... "habitat" they exist in – they probably know how to spend it well.

Why their shares tanked 10% then?
