Frankly, I trust the Chinese models and tools over those from the US. I know for a fact that the Trump Regime wants to hurt and exploit everybody, just because it can.
Same! What's the worst case scenario? The Chinese will learn I can't actually write my own html?? Oh noe.....
As a European its always very hypocritical when the US warns of Huawei Hardware when there were cases of tampered Cisco Hardware. I would not really trust the Chinese Router either way but when it comes to AI models..the local chinese bias model seems to be the better choice than the one that lives on a server over there in the USA. As long as I dont ask for historical data, social studies or the Tianman Square it should be good no? What could it do? Hide the communist manifest (do they still care about that anyway?) in some bash script?
You can also use Heretic to decensor open-weight models, and there aren't many of those being produced by American labs.
Personally, I would prefer the Swiss's open Apertus models to become competitive, but they are at least a year and a half behind the Chinese at this point IMO. It will be a while before European offerings are good enough.
i use HauHauCS's models for that which are better then Heretic
make sure you don't ask the american LLM about Palestine 😹
