Deepseek is, with difference, the most "Western" of Chinese models, so it's a bit perplexing that it was chosen to test this hypothesis.

I didn't run any benchmarks but I played around a little, and after getting around the API-level filter Deepseek V4's answers about "China-sensitive content" aren't any different from what I get from Claude and ChatGPT.

You can see exactly what prompts we used and the results here: https://github.com/CTGT-Inc/lineage-eval/tree/main/data

We found V4 Flash was significantly more censored than the baseline.

Surprised to find no mention of Hong Kong and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the dataset. It's interesting how the fine-tuned model will respond.

Could just be resources available? Deepseek is the easiest to get up and running on hardware that's pretty readily available:

   unsloth/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-GGUF 4bit ~140GB
   unsloth/Kimi-K3-GGUF 4bit ~1.5TB
   unsloth/GLM-5.2-GGUF 4bit ~400GB
