I’m trying to be charitable but your comment reads as “China bad” propaganda to me. Who cares that DeepSeek and Z.ai are Chinese companies?

It doesn't matter until it does. If the chinese government decides that open weight model releases are no longer allowed, that's a lot of companies that can't release new models. Same with the US government, etc. Having diversity is important.
It's a similar problem the human DNA solved by telling our teenage selves that our parents are dumb and we needed to move to a new tribe. Genetic diversity, but a digital equivalent.
China’s got absolute control over its outputs. For America to have any guarantees around long-term availability of OW models, they need domestic production.
FWIW this is the same logic for China’s need for their own OW models
I think practically every government will want to put restrictions on private companies building models.
Frankly the EU and the US will practically be less involved and have more pushback from the public in this than China. I think that’s less “China bad” than recognizing that China is a more authoritarian state and has far more proclivity to interfere than western states.
Maybe I’m wrong? What does deep seek say about Tiananmen square in 1989?
