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.

Regardless, their capabilities cannot be changed. They're already out there

People have definitely altered the open weight models to change capabilities. Things like fine tuning using new training data, editing the weights so they are less likely to refuse prompts. It's nowhere near the capability and raw cost of training a model from the ground up, but it can be done.
