No, it's because a lot of the time you want to use a different keyboard layout. For instance with international keyboards.

It's quite weird-looking for someone who's done any amount of lisp programming.

It is unfortunate that they decided to stop doing open-weight releases.

What could have been interesting has been reduced to simply another subpar LLM release.
