Huawei cloned Qwen and DeepSeek models, claimed as own

"Organization: We belong to the “Fourth Field Army” initiative. Under its structure, core language large models fall under the 4th brigade; Wang Yunhe’s small-model group is the 16th brigade."

- Lol, what? So is this literally a part of CCP military?

I don't think so. The Fourth Field Army doesn't exist anymore (and hasn't since 1955). My guess is the company named their LLM initiative after this for historic reasons, and that these are more like internal project code names than anything else.

Huawei has a militarily-style culture. Even their new employee orientation is run like an army boot camp.
