Both cards told readers to install an exact version. That is a literal nobody remembers to touch: it sat at 0.0.3 through the 0.0.4 release, and the published cards on the Hub still say 0.0.3 today, because they only update when someone manually re-uploads.

The pin was also wrong on its own terms. It froze readers on whatever version happened to be current when the weights were last pushed, so a reader arriving a year later installs a release that has since been fixed several times over.

The install line carries no version now:

pip install "mlx-cv[mlx,hub]"

The parity figures in each card's Verification section describe the checkpoint itself and do not move with the loader, so each card keeps its evidence without keeping a number that goes stale.

Publishing these to the Hub is a separate manual step and is being run alongside this change.
