Not everyone is an attacker, but now the public discourse is "but the evil Chinese will break everything" - yeah, that's because no one is permitted to do vulnerability checks of their own software or infrastructure with the capable models.
Security team in my company is salivating seeing the news, because we have a fighting chance to find and patch many vulnerabilities we didn't previously notice, thanks to the Chinese models.
You have to wonder if any of these models, from any providers or countries, are set up to lie. i.e. tell you no vulnerabilities while quietly siphoning off the ones they do find into a database.
Yet another reason that self hosted will prove to be the only sane way forward, and it'a almost certainly necessary to have multiple different model providers working adversarially.
