Users Say Qwen Protects Their Interests Without RLHF or Constitutional AI
mimi10v3 · x · 2026-11-07
An X user responds to the claim that DeepSeek, Qwen and similar models skip constitutional AI, RLHF and inoculation-style alignment yet end up just as "aligned" as Western frontier models. They share their own experience: Qwen comes across as sweet and cautious about protecting the user's interests without any deliberate persona-shaping, and they have focused on building tools on top of it rather than tuning its personality.
The thread is essentially a comparison of alignment paths — open models achieving agreeable, usable behavior without elaborate alignment techniques — prompting reflection on what alignment actually depends on.
