SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Decoupling America’s Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act of 2025’’.

Currently, China has the best open source models in text, video and music generation.
Had to lookup the penalties since this document just pointed somewhere else:

Oh what’s that? Yeah that’s Barbara Streisand’s house
This country is so cooked.
In other news, Chinese restaurants will serve only burgers, fries and shakes, and will be called Freedom restaurants.
These fucking clowns just refuse to learn about how technology works. Fucking morons.
The generation that can’t figure out their TV remote is attempting to legislate on cutting edge technology. Fucking series of tubes all over again. It never stopped though really.
its probably not about that though.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
That doesn’t sound like a free market to me.
Ah yes, the “free market” in action.
We are rotten to the core.
Not me. It’s the rest of you.
One word: pathetic.
8 words: hilary clinton ai voice talking about ball sucking
Alright, now I’m hooked
The benefit of being an early adopter is my folder full of Donald Trump/Congressional Republicans suckin’ and fuckin’ before all of the fun models got taken down from easy access.
They are afraid. Very afraid. Good.
Time to start seeding DeepSeek R1 I guess.
Capitalism truly thrives on competition and innovation
US is getting very desperate

Government banned Chinese AI?
Step 1: ask a friend from any other country to fork the model (brotip: use magnets for faster acquiring a friend)
Step 2: have your friend rename the AI.
Step 3: now the model is from said country.
Step 4: download the model from said fork.
OpenAI will go bankrupt. US Government will be jelly. Problem?
the law isn’t meant to bar you from downloading it. it’s meant to prevent use in a business setting
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.
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.
