2. It's over a year old - so even if it was, this is no longer it.
3. There's zero incentive for them to release it, but every incentive to release a fake one.
4. TikTok is too much of a national asset, I doubt the Chinese government would not use it to their advantage (and transparency would be counter to that).
From what I can tell, they didn't release the actual model, but rather a kind of framework for running and training models in a distributed way. The only actual "model" in there appears to be three Dense layers in a "demo" file.
