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.
That doesn’t sound like a free market to me.
The Land of the free sure likes taking away freedoms and banning stuff
People there have chosen that by voting republican. I mean, he told what he planned to do and got voted for anyway…
Freedom, but only for rich, white douchebags
China : Discovers Anti-gravity
USA : Law preventing study of anti-gravityNothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
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.
This bill is likely sponsored by Sam Altman himself
its probably not about that though.
They are afraid. Very afraid. Good.
Capitalism truly thrives on competition and innovation
Ah yes, the “free market” in action.
We are rotten to the core.
Not me. It’s the rest of you.
US is getting very desperate

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
Time to start seeding DeepSeek R1 I guess.
I thought software and thus code was protected as free speech?
The right to free speak can be compromised if it interferes with other, more important rights…
… like the right of shareholders to make money.
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.
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.
It is much worse. I hope I am reading it wrong, but:
The term ‘‘technology’’ […] includes […] any semiconductor, circuit board, operating system, graphics processing unit, central processing unit, tenor processing unit, field-programmable gate array, random access memory, hard drive, solid-state drive, dataflow architecture, or cloud-computing service, that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, completed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence […] and any other hardware, software, equipment, device, component, robotic computer, processor, network […] that is manufactured, designed, developed, supplied, deployed, […] [etc.] to function artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence.
This would mean that importing and exporting literally any piece of IT equipment, from a Ubuntu installer to a RAM chip, is illegal. Good luck & have fun.
It’s good old “everything is now illegal” law, selective enforcement does the rest. Straight out of the young dictatorship handbook
Rip iPhone.
Yes, yes, burn it all. Make the people very very angry. It takes a lot to engage a Luddite and we need them all.
Oh what’s that? Yeah that’s Barbara Streisand’s house
