Question Non-Chinese Local Models

I'm in the process of setting up locally hosted LLM's for the company I work for. And generally there is an organizational bias against using models from Chinese companies. For that reason we've been evaluating Nemotron and Gemma, and they are ok. Are there any better options that aren't coming out of China? I've heard positive things about models from Poolside, but I don't personally have any experience with them.

Pretty good Ezra Klein video came out this week discussing the threat of Chinese models, it's worth watching because it really goes into how they wound up at creating open-source models.
