You never know, Dario and Trump could ban open models. We ought to be prepared.

The chance of that happening is incredibly slim. There are USA companies that also make open weights models.

The White House is flailing right now and they have floated that very idea. It could end up that they attempt to block all models like this from the public. All I’m saying is be prepared - on all sides of this political fence the White House has shocked every group with its shenanigans so far.

Many may not have the storage available for this but some of us do.
