Why it matters
Developers and businesses weighing open-weight models for agent work now have a specific date to track, but the weights have been promised rather than released. Builders may prefer to wait until the weights are published before committing, as one commenter in the feed suggests. Watch for the November 25 release and whether the published weights match the stated specifications.
