  "summary": "Industrial post-training is a brownfield regime. Teams inherit a deployed checkpoint and must land targeted improvements under fixed compute and mixture budgets without regressing the rest. The maintained artifact is increasingly dataware: behavior governed by a curated post-training mixture, updated via bounded mixture patches rather than clean-slate retraining. From an industrial…",
