I’m highly concerned about this, not only due to lack of control of software I can choose to install, but also what happens once a developer is blacklisted? I haven’t seen anyone really address this.

What guidelines will Google use to determine that an app is “safe”? Will Google begin blacklisting developers who modify apps? What about developers who make apps that aren’t controversial themselves, but linked to controversial technologies or can be used for controversial means? (Torrent clients, etc.) Google to my knowledge has not provided a list of criteria they will use.

Even if Google claims pure motivations now, I think the amount of control this policy carries will be far too tempting for Google to refuse to utilize in full for any cause.

Thank you! That is exactly my point.

That’s not quite the same - that gives you the appearance of being a local device, which is enough to fool the restriction.

Their policy and technology enforcement is to charge for remote access, not relaying.

They charge for remote access whether it’s through their relay service or not, and you can’t opt out of fallback to their relay service.

It’s actually difficult to find software that supports it, assuming you’re not using Copilot. Ollama on my NPU enabled laptop doesn’t even try to use it, and even if it did, performance might suffer anyway.

A valid question.

It’s the official survey form from the Android Developer page on the matter: https://developer.android.com/developer-verification/guides

Who knows anymore? But I’d rather say something than accept it silently.

That is my hope as well.

That’s not how distillation works if I understand what you’re trying to explain.

If you distill model A to a smaller model, you just get a smaller version of model A with the same approximate distribution curve of parameters, but fewer of them. You can’t distill Llama into Deepseek R1.

I’ve been able to run distillations of Deepseek R1 up to 70B, and they’re all censored still. There is a version of Deepseek R1 “patched” with western values called R1-1776 that will answer topics censored by the Chinese government, however.

The client is open source and can be administered using the open source Headscale server. I use it with Keycloak as an auth gateway.
