    Wow, bold choice to ban the import of technology and knowledge. Usually governments are worried about export, so it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

    Btw, how is the Nvidia stock price doing?

      Right? Like, seriously, we all know somebody is just butthurt because their stock options tanked.

      Oh, wait, I’m sorry! That was very unpatriotic of me, wasn’t it? I mean, we all know that winning an election guarantees being heavily rewarded with insider trading, right? It’s not like they’re there to represent constituents or anything; I mean, doesn’t everyone know we’re a republic, not a democracy?!

      Sigh…

        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.

        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.

          R1 isn’t really runnable with a home rig. You might be able to run a distilled version of the model though!

              That likely is one of the distilled versions I’m talking about. R1 is 720 GB, and wouldn’t even fit into memory on a normal computer. Heck, even the 1.58-bit quant is 131GB, which is outside the range of a normal desktop PC.

              But I’m sure you know what version you’re running better than I do, so I’m not going to bother guessing.

            You’re absolutely right, I wasn’t trying to get that in-depth, which is why I said “lightweight and optimized,” instead of “when using a distilled version” because that raises more questions than it answers. But I probably overgeneralized by making it a blanket statement like that.

    Hawley’s statement called DeepSeek “a data-harvesting, low-cost AI model that sparked international concern and sent American technology stocks plummeting.”

    data-harvesting

    ???

    It runs offline… using open-source software that provably does not collect or transmit any data…

    It is low-cost and out-competes American technology, though, true

    Fascist regime and power/police abuse has started.

    Just in case: the US is becoming similar to Russia, kleptocratic country and organised crime in government.

    Print the code in a book and mail it.

    Surely, they cannot ban books… right? Right?

    Edit: Wait wait wait… the Comstock Act says mail cannot be used for anything that can be used for abortion. And a AI can theoretically be used to get instructions for abortion. BOOM, it’s banned! 👀

          At this point someone could say Hitler is coming back from the dead riding a dinosaur, and my reaction would be “Yeah, sure. That may as well happen. Nothing has made sense the last 10 years. That’s just as plausible as anything else we’ve seen.”
