The disagreement here seems to be a confusion between the pure model behavior and the behavior that users experience, which is the model wrapped in a harness. It’s normal and natural now to refer to the whole system as ‘the model’ informally, even though that is technically not accurate. That ship sailed a while ago.
Since the LLM is now designed to run in a harness, it’s really not even wrong any more.
In the context of weight lifting, or neuromuscular demand, a one rep max is very high intensity exercise. In the context of metabolic demand, it is not.

Just in case you're not kidding, I'll remind you it was always thus. The Nazi Enigma machines were not created by libertarian anarcho-punks to distribute The Whole Earth Catalog.
Author still normally transfers copyright to the publisher. That's what gives the publisher the right to distribute copies and charge for them. By default they do not.
If I sell a novel to Simon & Shuster, and assign the copyright to them as part of the deal, I can't sell the same novel to HarperCollins under the same terms. I can't sell my movie to Disney AND Sony.
This is the same, but the price is zero. You can take or leave the deal at that price, and you'll probably take it for sufficient academic prestige points ('impact factor', visibility, etc).
By the way, some publishers such as IEEE explicitly allow you to post preprints for free download, eg. at arXiv and on your own web site.
Your Paper C does not need to cite Paper A unless you are discussing some aspect of it that Paper B is not. Otherwise you inherit the A citation via B.
Both timestamps are useful in different ways. The early-as-possible hardware stamp is best for reasoning about causality, while the later-and-full-o-jitter middleware stamps are good for compensating for that inevitable jitter.
Time is one of the hard problems in robots, because they are inevitably but non-obviously distributed systems.
