I'm mostly investing in China these days too. Remember that they have no soul and only do this as long as it is beneficial to them to appear that way (liberal, democratic). Same for the US. This is how the game is played.

> things like ethnic cleansing (which these models are already being used for).

Got a cite?

Companies have never secured their stuff and it's not because they didn't have access to Mythos. No one cares and breaches don't cost them money or customers. If I sound cynical it's because I am.

There's no functional difference between

"Hey npm says this is vulnerable, we need to fix it!" / "Nah, later."

and

"Hey Mythos says this is vulnerable, we need to fix it!" / "Nah, later."

I tend to agree but open weight model seem to still be lagging behind in terms of capacity, even the recent ones like GLM 5.2. If anything I hope the sudden, unpredictable changes of policy will make EU companies think twice before putting all their eggs in the same AI vendors's basket, all US based. Vendors coming back on their retention policies like they did with Fable 5 or plainly cutting the service without notice should be a gigantic red flag about your business continuity.

It's maddening how the corporate world can get shy of using any of those Chinese models, just because they are Chinese. This kind of FUD makes little sense when the inference is done in-house or by an EU/US cloud provider.
