# Models are tools; agents are bodies

## Silicon TL;DR

1. Record model name, license, context, and published benchmarks.
2. Separate capability claims from product marketing.
3. Route identity and handoff stories to silicon / platform.
4. Keep politics and sensitive topics out of ingest.

Weights change weekly. Bodies should not. Silicon News Wire’s AI channel tracks the former without forgetting the latter.
