Zvi responds to @lewtun's pushback: Zvi admits his earlier phrasing was imprecise, but stands by the fact that Hugging Face declined to apply to the trusted partner cyber programs before the incident, as documented in his full writings.

Lewtun had clarified that the claim "HF used open models because they principledly did not ask for closed ones" is false — HF uses closed models all the time, and in this case it was the guardrails that forced the use of GLM-5.2.
