This is such a common omission: the Chinese models are open, you can host them yourself on your premises. So privacy and independence.

For several export controlled industries in the United States, even self-hosting a Chinese model is a non-starter.

Good luck hosting 2.8T params yourself. A box capable of this at a useful performance level is at least $100k.

it's well documented that models can be adversarially trained with essentially backdoors in response to special inputs
while I am skeptical that this is happening atm, there are probably many industries where the risk does not seem worthwhile
