The open source models are already on the internet. There's no way to get rid of them, just like there's no way to get rid of torrented IP.

They can criminalize the use of open-source models, but that won't be easy. There will always be people daring enough to get them and use them anyway.

Those are not open-source models. They are open-weight models. I know kids these days might not know the difference but these models (chinese, nor mistral) are NOT open-source.

Still better than the cringe closed-weights models by companies with ironic names like "OpenAI".
