    This makes me want to download it more, see what the fuss us all about. Bonus points if I can get it to not talk about trump the way it doesn’t talk about topics sensitive to gyna, all the better.

    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.
