Could you build this?
No Creating a westernized fine-tuned foundation model (Qwen 35B MoE) requires significant GPU compute clusters and machine learning research expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires high-end multi-GPU infrastructure (e.g., 8x H100s), curated alignment/unlearning datasets to purge censorship or specific political biases, and fine-tuning/merging techniques (LoRA, DPO, representation engineering). Requires specialized ML alignment engineering skills.
