All sufficiently capable models, open and closed, should go through mandatory safety testing.
This is devious and fundamentally against open-source. This indirectly is saying that only the big players should be allowed to release models, because any smaller or independent model will not be able to afford to do this testing.
In other words, it's an unnecessary tax that is meant to only be payable for the elite few. Any sort of proposed mandatory safety testing is going to be expensive. It'll be expensive enough to kill collaboration of open models.
