SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025’’.
SEC. 3. PROHIBITIONS ON IMPORT AND EXPORT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
(a) PROHIBITION ON IMPORTATION.—On and after the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the importation into the United States of artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence technology or intellectual property developed or produced in the People’s Republic of China is prohibited.
Currently, China has the best open source models in text, video and music generation.
How would they even attempt to implement this? Will the US end up with a Great Firewall like China has? Even if Chinese models are delisted from Hugging Face (since Hugging Face is a US company and has to follow US law), they could just be hosted elsewhere.
Most likely, they’ll just enforce it against businesses using it since they’re the cash cow as far as OpenAI, meta et all are concerned
As far as I know they still haven’t forced all government agencies to use AI, which was talked about… So they also have a cash cow there.
Err, DOD is buying into OpenAI to manage the nuclear weapons.
…I have no words.
This would also effectively ban the use of any research produced by a Chinese national. Any papers which cite the work of Chinese labs (most of them) would be illegal, as this could be interpreted as aiding Chinese AI research.
Time to start seeding DeepSeek R1 I guess.
That doesn’t sound like a free market to me.
What next? Outlaw chinese food?
It is making gen Z lazy, they start to “lay flat”
A succulent Chinese meal!?
ABSOLUTELY NO COMPETITION ALLOWED.
We’ll call it FREEDOM FOOD. Please, pass the FREEDOM beef chow fun, and the AMERICAN Fortune cookies, and BALD EAGLE AR-15 green tea.

Pretty sure fortune cookies are American anyway? Pretty sure they aren’t chinese
I’m not even in to this shit and I’m going to download it right now because fuck those assholes.
Can someone explain briefly what I need to download that might not be available if this comes to pass? Like I did some searching and I saw stuff about Ollama but it wasn’t completely clear if that would be affected by this.

Very simple with ollama
So if I download this and somehow there is no longer a way to access the model online this will still work? I’m just a bit confused because I read a couple things that made it seem like even though the model is running locally it still needs a connection for some reason, if that isn’t true I’m sorry for the dumb question.
On first run it downloads the model, then you just run it locally
Thank you, that answers my question exactly.
So if I get a new computer in a few months it will no loner work. Maybe we can VPN into Sweden?
Jeeez, just copy the ollama’s directory (something like .ollama) from user’s dir to wherever. You can check and find the files inside. I find the published 14b really useful, it’s ten GB that think and reason in english.
I assume you know you can transfer files from one pc to a other?
Technically this isn’t the case. These are Deepseek distilled with Qwen and Llama depending on the weight, so they are no longer Deepseek.
@YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world this is the official, extremely large, one. https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1
Well yes, it does specifically say so in the link. There’s also one with the full model in what I linked
Oh nice, when Ollama first had this up I don’t think the 671b model was there. I stand corrected on that!
holy shit, you weren’t kidding when you said it was large.
Something about https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1 , or at least that’s the model that everyone’s been talking about recently. It looks like it’d be half a terabyte to clone the entire repo though, and I don’t know how to use it either …
Run it using ollama in a terminal (like ollama run model_name), ask it a question.
Doesn’t matter. People in the US already have the model, so sharing it within the US wouldn’t be illegal, and the law would only apply to anything “imported” 180 days after the law is passed (if it’s passed at all).
Also, how “importing” is defined will matter for any future legal arguments, and I would imagine this law would eventually be struck down for being overbroad.
Oh what’s that? Yeah that’s Barbara Streisand’s house

So you can’t download them, you should run them directly on tencent cloud or something? Smart…
I don’t even like ai but this just makes me want to download Deepseek as much as I can
Yes, that will show them for sure
So, only the rest of the world gets superior technology.
The investors will love that.

Ah yes, the “free market” in action.
We are rotten to the core.
Not me. It’s the rest of you.
Yeah, we should only be allowed to download their social media apps?
