> Alibaba just shut off the Qwen releases
Alibaba from beginning had some series of models that are always closed-weights (*-max, *-plus, *-turbo etc. but also QvQ), It's not a new development, nor does it prevent their open models. And the VL models are opened after 2-3 months of GA in API.
> Tencent just shut off the Hunyuan releases
Literally released one today: https://huggingface.co/tencent/Hunyuan-A13B-Instruct https://huggingface.co/tencent/Hunyuan-A13B-Instruct
- echelon 1y agoHunyuan Image 2.0, which is of Flux quality but has ~20 milliseconds of inference time, is being withheld. Hunyuan 3D 2.5, which is an order of magnitude better than Hunyuan 3D 2.1, is also being withheld. I suspect that now that they feel these models are superior to Western releases in several categories, they no longer have a need to release these weights.

Yes that I can totally believe. Standard corporation behaviour (Chinese or otherwise). I do think DeepSeek would be an exception to this though. But they lack diversity in focus (not even multimodal yet).
