Most American companies (regulated ones, definitely) can't dare to touch any Chinese models, though they knew that it makes perfect economic sense. Until the taboo prevails, the cartel get's their flood of profit. That's a cartel protected by regulations.

Is "taboo" the right word? "taboo" = "banned on grounds of morality or taste". Not sending data to known IP thieves, state actors, and competitors in China (or Russia or Israel) seems very rational.

You have the models available on Bedrock. What is the problem? It stays within your AWS account.

Why not Chinese models hosted on American hardware?

And the reasons are same. Chinese cars can't be sold in US (EU is planning a similar law to ban Chinese goods).

I think unless one is operating in a highly regulated industry, wanting to avoid "sending data to China" is a bit paranoid. For code specifically, most of it is not interesting anyways.

Weird, considering they had no issues shipping manufacturing and supply chains to China when that made economic sense.
