From what I've seen (probably not the most up-to-date info), the community shares open source model in the form of XOR result of a "parent" model (like LLaMA). It's like people sold "high-suger grape juice" when alcohol was illegel.

It's mostly because LLaMA itself isn't open-source, but I think this method to spread uncensored models will remain legal for a very long time.

The problem is whether this additional friction prevents open source models from getting enough traction.
