> when did these folks start legislating

Just making sure I’m understanding the situation correctly - these folks have gone beyond “controlling the output of their own APIs”, and they are now using government power to limit what you can do with your own software running on your own hardware??

Yeah, there are both executive orders and legislation under consideration limiting available weight models: Mistral did their last big release as a magnet link on X.

Throw in the changes around the T2 HSM, the creepy semi-visible quarantine permissions, and OpenPhilanthropy lobbying to the tune of like, 100+ million a year.

Yeah, you are in grave jeopardy of not being able to easily, legally access available-weight, operator-aligned models.
