😐 I keep seeing takes on LinkedIn from American business influencers melting down about Silicon Valley startup "dependence" on open-source Chinese models.

🤔 Can anyone describe a credible scenario where these models can be leveraged by the Chinese government to endanger American security interests or am I right to believe that this is just Red Scare nonsense?

Well there is a few issues :

  • Dependance on a foreign country for the improvement of the models
  • The underlying value of model that can't be changed without interfering with essential function

But it's not like there is alternative. Peoples are using chinese open-source because the big american actor closed theirs !

I agree with both of your points, but neither of them represents a weaponization of this technology against American security interests by the Chinese government.
