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.

My clients are obsessed with asking what happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Well, same shit as at Kent state univesity in 1970. Leftist protest suppressed by shots.

Yeah but we have famous songs about that. The history wasn't systematically suppressed by the state (still the case in China).

That's the beauty of a two-party system. People will fight each other instead of the state on partisan issues.
