Or just host it yourself or on your country's cloud provider once they release the weights.

The thing is - as a European, I can choose between plague and cholera.

One has mostly been reliable, stayed peaceful towards us and is primarily concerned with their internal matters and the countries right next to it. They have long-term strategy and understanding of win-win situations.

The other one keeps threatening to invade/steal Greenland. Keeps waging an economic war against the entire bloc. Positions their propagandists right in our middle and does the best to influence our elections. Exports fascism and finances antidemocratic forces. Supports the genocide in that certain country. And still have their soldiers in our country, against the wishes of a majority of the population. Oh and they don't honor any treaties if they feel like it.

Easy choice.

Does that make china an angel? Hell no, they are still committed to enslaving the Uyghur people, keep threatening neighbors and are mostly han supremacists. Human rights are seen as merely a suggestion by them.

But at the time being, one is clearly more reliable than the other. Long-term, I'd like to avoid both the US and China.

Better than handing it over to the US regime.

Or the American one :)

Sadly these days this seems like the least worse of the three major regimes.

It's an open model, you can just wait a few days and you'll get to choose who to hand it over to, or given the resources you can run it on your own box.

I have absolutely zero sympathy for Western model providers.

Bring on the Chinese token-dumping onslaught.

Right at this moment, there are more people in the world on the side of China than on the side of the USA. Which can translate into raw market numbers at some point. So these comments are kinda moot.
