But I've also heard, as complete rumour, sometimes some named models perform significantly worse on some hosts and the theory is they're running quantized, without that being published. Would this solve that? The post mentions proving a set of weights, but not how those are represented? What would stop a host using true weights for generating the signature, while running on quantized versions?
> We prove an exact integer version of the published weights, and a proof asserts that each checked token is that model’s greedy choice. A reply from a floating-point implementation, or sampled decoding, could depart at some position...
So, no...?
