At this point, I think open weights vs proprietary models is a misnomer.

First, we can not be sure the next release will remain open weights as Qwen 3.7 has showed.

And second, they are all Chinese models. So instead of open weights, perhaps Chinese AI models is a better word choice.

It's not China's fault they're the only country releasing open weights.

Qwen has always alternated having an open release followed by a "max" release that isn't open weights.

Although I can see that some people perceive “China’s model“ as a bad connotation, it’s simply the truth. So face it.
