Oh, you’re right

Most minorities — it’s the middle - upper class straight able bodied white people who are oblivious to it all.

Don’t worry, their already bad situation will get worse too.

Finally affordable housing!

same lmao

They never learn.

Honestly, I don’t think this is common practice in non-oppressive countries. I mean sure, this happens in North Korea, Iran, China… But I’m relatively free to consume what I want with a few minor exceptions. For example we don’t import food that isn’t food-safe by our standards. Regardless if it’s common practice to eat it in other places. Also food may not be able to enter the country due to laws on animal cruelty. Similar things apply to electronic devices that aren’t up to code. And some select few things are banned altogether and you can’t have them and neither can someone import them. Other than that, regulations aren’t super strict. I can use all American social media platforms despite them stealing my personal data and violating European privacy laws regularly, can use Russian or Chinese websites… I think I live in a free country.

Helping domestic economy is done with tariffs / import tax. And not by banning things and putting people in jail.

And mind that this isn’t about the service that collects your data and gives it to the Chinese government. This is about downloading the model file and using it all by yourself. So no data gets transferred to a foreign country. And it’s not because people could get harmed or anything. This is just because the vice president doesn’t want it personally. Like in some dictatorship. Otherwise they would have banned transferring data into foreign countries, if that’s what it’s about. But they didn’t do that, because it’s not about protecting the people.

Or did I miss something and there are other examples for limitations on import?

Since those smaller models are technically fine-tunes of Meta/Facebook’s LLAMA, using Deepseek’s outputs, I wonder if they would be covered by the bill at all.

Yea, comment OP needs to edit links with howany up votes that got.

Base models are general purpose language models, mainly useful for AI researchers and people who want to build on top of them.

Instruct or chat models are chatbots. They are made by fine-tuning base models.

The V3 models linked by OP are Deepseek’s non-reasoning models, similar to Claude or ChatGPT4o. These are the “normal” chatbots that reply with whatever comes to their mind. Deepseek also has a reasoning model, R1. Such models take time to “think” before supplying their final answer; they tend to give better performance for stuff like math problems, at the cost of being slower to get the answer.

It should be mentioned that you probably won’t be able to run these models yourself unless you have a data center style rig with 4-5 GPUs. The Deepseek V3 and R1 models are chonky beasts. There are smaller “distilled” forms of R1 that are possible to run locally, though.

I was assuming one was pre-trained and one wasn’t but don’t think that’s correct and don’t care enough to investigate further.

r1 is lightweight and optimized for local environments on a home PC. It’s supposed to be pretty good at programming and logic and kinda awkward at conversation.

v3 is powerful and meant to run on cloud servers. It’s supposed to make for some pretty convincing conversations.

You don’t fuck with the big man money tbh… That’s like rule 1 of the game.

“Server is when we ask Amazon to build a backdoor, local is when we ask Microsoft”

Nah, Congress (esp the Senate) is a bunch of old people yelling at clouds, and sometimes they yell the same thing. Don’t give them too much credit.

Here’s one for 2k if you don’t mine jank (edit: and 3-4 tokens :) )

I hear its easy, but I’ve had no luck at all on the most distilled models (for prelim testing), and am wondering how things have broken so badly.
