Qwen models have ideological backdoors already. They rewrite history, deny crimes from the regime, and push the CCP narratives.
Even if their benchmarks are impressive, I refuse to ship any product with it. I'll stick with Llama and Gemma for now.

I can't comment on the particular one, but I feel like this will unfortunately apply to most works out of authoritarian regimes. As a researcher/organization living under strict rule that can be oppressive, do you really risk releasing something that would get you into trouble? A model that would critique the government or acknowledge events they'd rather pretend don't exist? Actually, if not for the financial possibilities, working with LLMs in general could open one up to some pretty big risks, if the powers that be don't care about the inherent randomness of the technology.
