Most Chinese models are no longer open source. Qwen, MinMax, and GLM are transitioning to weights-available models, leaving only Xiaomi and DeepSeek in the open-source space.
It doesn't matter anyway. Weights aren't IP so the licenses are bunk.
AFAIK, there's no evidence that Alibaba won't keep releasing more open source models. Before 3.8 there was speculation they wouldn't release the weights, but they finally did - Although I guess the largest model wasn't multi modal.
And Minmax is set to release their latest flash model on October 23rd.
So not sure where you're getting this from, unless I misunderstood something
