A new model is a new hire, not a new file
A model pulled from the hub is not just weights - it ships tokeniser code, an executable chat template, loaders gated by trust_remote_code, sometimes its own runtime, and the ecosystem's default is to run all of it beside your credentials. So every new model starts on probation: a hardware-isolated microVM with its own guest kernel, a default-deny network, zero credentials, and promotion to the standard serving tier only when the observed record earns it.
