    ok lol. People will just release like Qwen2 2.5 7B 'murican edition that changes literally nothing.

    In fact, come to think of it, all the models I’ve downloaded are quants made by non-chinese people, even if the original is chinese.

      The model also bans export of any/all AI “technology”, so any release of weights would be banned since it could in theory be downloaded by a user in China. It might even ban the publishing of academic papers on AI.
