Key points
- I've seen Anthropic and OpenAI models talk down serious mistakes that I called out, or doing things I hadn't really intended.
- The HF incident showed what these LLMs are capable of if not fully aligned.
- Qwen NF seems quite obedient so far, sometimes even a bit too much (I have to be careful to call out a hunch or rough idea as such or it will follow it too hard).
- Have you ever felt betrayed, mislead, or gaslight by the latest Chinese open param models like Qwen Flash Next or GLM 5.3 Flash?
