Design exercise: Open-Weight Models
Model cards, licenses, weights, tokenizers, chat templates, adapters, provenance, and reproducible packaging. Implement designOutline() returning non-empty values for: license, provenance, runtimeFit. Each value must name a concrete mechanism or decision.
The mechanism
Open weights provide inspectable parameters, not automatically open data or unrestricted rights. Selection must include license, provenance, tokenizer, template, eval, and hardware fit.
Expected evidence
A design outline with license, provenance, runtimeFit plus an explicit failure mode or trade-off.

Hints when you need them
- Name the failure mode before selecting the mechanism.
