It's from Alibaba, which is Chinese, so it seems likely.

Yeah, but it’s a bit trickier with them, given how they still operate in US and listed in NYSE. Also if they keep releasing open source code, people will still just use it… basically the Meta way of adoption into their AI ecosystem.

If it's an open model, good luck preventing us from downloading and using it though.
