HF dev questions Thinking Machines' SWE-2 Flash weight-sharing program over simple HF gating

QGallouedec · x · 2026-11-05

Lewis Tunstall (HF) congratulates Thinking Machines on SWE-2 Flash but questions why a special trusted-partner weight-sharing program is needed instead of simply gating the model on Hugging Face, which would preserve community visibility and eval indexing while keeping full access control.

Official notes: targeted cybersecurity training raised ExploitBench from 11.3% to 34.8%, but the same capabilities could aid attackers amid a recent surge in cyber attacks, so weights aren't public yet — a secure sharing program for trusted partners and research labs arrives in a few weeks.
