And they wonder why China is eating the US's lunch on the world stage in terms of influence and technology.

Are you tired of winning yet?
I'd get LM studio or Ollama, and download R1 your system can handle quick. If you're on Linux, Alpaca is on Flathub, you can get it and it'll download models and run them for you, including Deepseek R1.
I'm gonna download it even harder.
See you hell evildoer!
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! 👀
I wasn't thinking of downloading an AI onto my low tier computer until now.
I've got a laptop kicking around from 2010 that's about to get deepseek just because they're proposing this dumb ass shit. I don't even use Gen AI.

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
sent American technology stocks plummeting
Oh yeah, thats what did it, totally

So I guess it's free speech as long as you agree with the goverment's speech. If not, then it's a crime.
Elon Musk was just posting a factory of prisoners all working for cents on the dollar saying that America needs more of that.
Always have been, and this is a bipartisan value, heck, it's common to all political parties of the world.

For Base Model
git lfs install git clone https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-Base
For Chat Model
git lfs install git clone https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3
this is deepseek-v3. deepseek-r1 is the model that got all the media hype: https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1

Can you elaborate on the differences?
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!
Tell that to my home rig currently running the 671b model...
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.

https://www.deepseekv3.com/en/download
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.
Is that website legit? I've only ever seen https://www.deepseek.com/
And I would personally recommend downloading from HuggingFace or Ollama
It's only a proposed bill (thankfully), but definitely one to keep an eye on.
Eh, it's just virtue signaling nonsense. It's not going anywhere.
That's what everyone thought about Trump becoming president... Both times.
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."

that's what they said about vaguely gestures at everything
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...
