The passage around this formula

With a closed, API-served model, both arguments are partly opaque: θ\theta is asserted rather than shown, and θ\theta' — whatever the endpoint is actually running today — cannot be confirmed to equal θ\theta . A reproduction attempt is chasing two unknowns with one equation. With an open-weight release, θ\theta is a downloadable file, and a downloaded file can be…
