Many people get this wrong.
Supporting open source AI has nothing to do with China.
It is simply about one thing: the collective knowledge humanity has built so far should belong to humanity.

I am one of the people behind the 6,500 uncensored models the press now wants off Hugging Face.
Transformer News counted over 6,500 abliterated, uncensored and heretic models on Hugging Face in July. Their story is that these models could help cyber attacks. Hugging Face removed 1 model marketed for offensive cyber, and the reporter asks why the rest are still up.
A few of those are mine. I upload abliterated Qwen and GLM quants. My Qwen3.8 Flash-Next one got about 358,000 downloads in the last 30 days.
Abliteration removes the refusal direction. That is all. The model does not learn hacking from it. It stops lecturing you when you ask about a chemistry exam, a pentest you are paid for, or a dark scene in a novel.
The base models are already on millions of drives. Removing my repo removes nothing.
The real problem is somewhere else. Hugging Face is where almost everyone gets weights. Nvidia agreed to buy it, Nvidia just lost the CEO who promised to keep it open, and now the press asks why uncensored models are still there.
Download what you need. TODAY!!!
In other bad news, it's been found that @bestbuy is selling uncensored laptops that could be used for cyber attacks. There are zero restrictions on these machines.
Just in case we ever lose access to Hugging Face, keep this in mind.
There is @ModelScope2022, which is run by Alibaba.
I don't think they will block Chinese websites in the US, but even if they do, a VPN will work just fine.
We've reached the stage where godi media explains the benefits of pollution.
"Pollution builds a protective layer and blocks direct sunlight. In Europe, there is no pollution. So, sunlight reaches directly and burns the skin."

Will Depue tested DeepSeeks newest model and found nothing. He left that out of the thread. The thread says "conclusive forensic evidence" that DeepSeek built its newest models on Blackwells. The newest one is V4.1 Flash. His own report, buried in the appendix: "We recovered no signature from DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (after an exhaustive search)"
Starting with v1.98 on desktop, Brave removes hidden identifiers that Meta adds to your photos on Instagram and Facebook.
This makes it harder for Meta to link the same photo across accounts and sites.
