I imagine it's just technical issues on the flip. It's also going to be interesting what happens to HF with loads of people downloading a many TB model. Even though almost no one has the capability to run it, it does seem like something to stash away in case it suddenly becomes unavailable due to government controls.

FWIW, China is suddenly talking about model export controls. It was one thing to release also-ran models, but now that they're pushing SOTA it's a different game.
