Weights Proliferation: Where Compute Governance Goes Silent

Once model weights are released or leaked they cannot
be recalled. The Meta LLaMA series demonstrated this empirically weights,
once public, eliminate training compute as a controlling variable for
deployment risk entirely. The IAEA nuclear analogy breaks down exactly
here: enriched uranium is a physical quantity subject to material
accountancy. Model weights are information, copyable and transmissible
at zero marginal cost. The central open question for compute governance
is what deployment-phase oversight looks like for a technology where
the primary risk artifact has no physical instantiation to control.
