Qwen's team has been reorganized, and not open-sourcing also fits Alibaba's usual corporate style...

Other companies have not shown similar problems so far.

China has many government agencies and state-owned enterprises that need models which can be deployed locally. This is also part of "Xinchuang" (self-owned systems, self-owned hardware, etc. New government computers all run special Linux versions on domestic CPUs, and LLMs also need to be like this).

Looks like I spoke too soon. As a result of Kimi competition Qwen is releasing their 3.8 weights as well.
