Note that this is apparently a 7B version of a 104B model trained with the intention of competing with OpenAI offerings on the Chinese market [1]. There is a number of those projects: Baichuan, ChatGLM2, InternLM and some more iirc, and they all have small-scale opensource versions.
For what it's worth, I've tried out ChatGLM2-6B and Baichuan converted to LLaMA (the architecture is literally identical in that case). They're okay, though underwhelming given their reported benchmarks; probably the main point of creating them is gaining experience for engineers, and feedback from the wider community that has less incentive to downplay their shortcomings.
Surprisingly, they do not appear censored in any particularly "Chinese" political direction, but they share sensibilities of ChatGPT and Claude.
