US Gov won't let Chinese models be hosted on any internal infra, not even supposed to use them for local AI. So there is absolutely a market for US-made or non-Chinese models there.

Do you have a source for this? Genuinely curious, I've seen reports online of MIC contractors already using it extensively on-prem. In fact, one of the issues they bring up is how there is no official guidance right now, so no one really knows what to do.

		I don't have a source unfortunately, this is mostly internal directives from my work within NIH. I've had many conversations with security officers and IT about my plans to use local models for various projects, and hackles were always raised in regards to Chinese models. I also did a short stint with an IT operations company, and we were told Chinese models were a no-go as well from our deployments on DoD hardware.
