A steam turbine monitor that can never write to the control system. One-way OPC UA read, ten typed objects, MOMENT-1 and Granite 4.2 8B on one 48 GB card, every tier on the plant's own hardware in Pakistan. The platform advises; the protection layer trips. Open design, CC BY 4.0.

An aircraft MRO facility in the US waits years for a die to make one bracket. New open reference design: a dieless robotic sheet metal cell that owns its toolpaths, its weights and its evidence. Two arms with generic styli, springback compensation learned from the facility's own scans, a 14 object record per serialized part, two Apache 2.0 models at the cell, one way out over a data diode. No vendor cloud. CC BY 4.0.
A gas pipeline operator in Pakistan has buried lines within a kilometre of an HVDC electrode station. When the link runs monopolar, 1.3 kA returns through the ground and some of it rides the steel. New open reference design: prove every record before the model reads it, one Apache 2.0 parser, the physics in validated software, and the model handed back on the operator's own host. 15 objects, CC BY 4.0.

Zhipu's new open model builds cyber exploits. Its safeguards fail up to 100 percent of the time, and anyone can download it.
IFM in Abu Dhabi didn't just open K2 Horizon's weights, it shipped the training logs and recipes too. The most open a frontier release yet.
Nvidia just open sourced the layer that watches an agent and can shut it down. That is the sovereignty argument, not a leaderboard score.
