They finetuned 1.5-3b models. This is a non-story

The local models are distilled versions of Qwen or llama or whatever else, not really deepseek’s model. So you get refusals based on the base model primarily, plus whatever it learned from the distilling. If it’s Qwen or another Chinese model then it’s more likely to refuse but a llama model or something else could pick it up to a lesser extent.

When hedge funds decide to flip the switch on something the reaction never looks rational. Meta was green today ffs.

Yep, was going to mention a study from a few years ago that threw out most of this data as junk since they found many were counting stretched flaccid as “erect”.
