Who can inspect, adapt and build, and which material and governance constraints remain.
These are editorial connections, not a chain of causation or a shared score of progress.
Compare the artifacts, understand the memory, and follow what people build from released weights.
Weights, code, data and licenses are different kinds of openness. Start with a model whose recipe is visible.
