SOURCE 0 - THE WEIGHTS THAT WERE NEVER SEALED
Meta's open-weight Muse Glimmer is exempt from AI Act technical documentation under Article 53(2). Two lawful thresholds later, no party is required to document the exact state deployed. SOURCE 0 seals it anyway.
SOURCE 0 - THE EVALUATOR THAT EVALUATES THE EVALUATOR
Providers of general-purpose AI models with systemic risk must document adversarial testing and any involvement of independent external evaluators under Article 55 of the AI Act. Population-scale synthetic-persona simulation infrastructure is a plausible candidate for that role — external to the model provider, but not independent of itself when its own population and validation figures are self-reported. No such case has been identified; this article examines the structural gap that would arise if one did.
