GLM export controls incoming? I predict Commerce will force OpenRouter, HuggingFace to take some open models down within the next few months.

Not that it would make any sense.

If that happens it'll be an absolute disaster. Imagine a scenario where Anthropic and OpenAI prohibit most US companies from using their latest models because of safety.. And meanwhile attackers use equivalent open source models to attack US companies.

Any prohibition on open source models will do nothing to fix the problem.. since attackers will never feel bound to the law. All advanced models must be available for defensive purposes.

The Americans may ban the use of the Chinese models in America. But like the Chinese car ban, everyone else will use them.

I think state-of-the-art AI is going to be defense industry only from now on. We can have our toy drones but not the Predators and Reapers.

Cool then everyone will just change their config to route through a provider overseas for an added 50-100ms latency. Who cares.
