That is an inference from silence, recorded as one. This file is not the byte stream OpenAI serves. Upstream publishes a TorchScript archive; tools/fetch/clip.py verifies it against the sha256 in OpenAI's own URL, then recovers the state dict with torch.jit.load and writes the tensors back out as an ordinary checkpoint, cast to fp32. No tensor is otherwise altered. The archive's sha256 is 40d365715913c9da98579312b702a82c18be219cc2a73407c4526f58eba950af.
