Writing on model ownership, evaluation, and the craft of fitting a private model to a company's voice and standard.
Own the weights, or rent the behaviour
Renting a model means renting its behaviour. When the shelf shifts underneath you, your product shifts with it. Ownership is the difference between a tool and a liability.
