Thanks!  Agreed that having a model available to all communities is good for equity :)  In the automoderator case, is it that the multilingual model incorporates the language-agnostic model, but not vice-versa?  Is there a way to have the inverse: a generalized multilingual model, that may be fine-tuned for different communities, but does its best with input in less-known languages or variants?  [Perhaps w/ context cues for users estimating how far out of distribution the input is.]

I like the idea of a general model that can be tuned, since I can imagine community groups maintaining datasets for fine-tuning more easily than maintaining their own entire models.

Warmly, SJ
