> what does it mean to be able to “meaningfully fork” something and be able to make it more useful if you don’t have the ingredients to reproduce it in the first place?

I could be misunderstanding them, but my takeaway is that exact bit for bit reproducibility is not required. Most software, including open source, is not bit for bit reproducible. Exact reproducibility is a fairly new concept. Even with all the training data, and all the code, you are unlikely to get the exact same model as before.

Though if that is what they mean, then they should be more explicit about it.
