I think this also misses the point. The precedent here almost surely implies that it will be illegal to use these frontier models as well.

I can see a future where weights are distributed on the darkweb or bittorrent, or people are trying to use small fly by night hosts of models.

But if this says these models are dangerous and the companies and people can't be trusted with them, then I don't see why that wouldn't also apply to open weight models.
