Two proposed development routes

The article explores fine-tuning existing weights and training a separate student with teacher guidance. Both proposed routes retain connections to their training sources. Sovereign Source remains a research initiative.

Separate reviews before release

The diagram places reviews of content rights, training origins, service terms and quality before a proposed commercial release. The article distinguishes model licensing from hosted service agreements.

Training origins

The article identifies Qwen and DeepSeek influences in training disclosures for both base and post-trained checkpoints. It explains that selecting the base checkpoint does not exclude those influences.

Proposed contributor agreements

Proposed contribution agreements separately address permission, credit and compensation. The article cautions that training records do not measure each contributor's exact causal share of every answer.
