The allegation here is that it's not actually a fine-tune of Qwen, but instead an undisclosed mashup (merge) of someone else's fine-tune of Qwen and the original model. Rio subsequently said that the model was in fact a merge, that they did additional fine-tuning after the merge, and that they accidentally uploaded the base merge instead of the version with additional fine-tuning. But this seems like quite an oversight...

Not to me, what would people like to happen? Who are those people? And why do they care?

They made a public claim to having produced a useful model, which they published. Turns out they did nothing of the sort.

> why do they care?

Why does anyone ever care about having their time wasted by fraudulent claims?
