How could Trump ban tiktok then? And Fable for that matter.
replyMaybe you're somehow legally allowed to distribute and download the weights, but most of us can't run GLM 5.2 at home.
You won't need a frontier size model for most tasks before long. Qwen 3.6 (small) punches way above its weight. I run it at home @8bit on an OEM Spark
replySecond this, I am also running qwen 3.6 35b Q8 on a 5090 liquid getting around 250 tokens / second and it is plenty capable. I actually haven't even looked at models recently because I am happy with what I have.
replyAnd.. now I feel the need to look again. Darn, there goes my afternoon
And corporations could run DeepSeek models on cloud hardware.
replyYou can run most open models on cloud hardware. Google Cloud gives you a click to deploy, but then you have saturation / ROI considerations, versus Google serving them up multi-tenant, per-token.
replyFor ROI though you can run 24/7 agentic-style workloads, constantly churning through all your source code looking for security bugs (or whatever) and you DONT pay per-token costs.
replyA DeepSeek instance running 24/7 in a cloud provider will beat doing that with Claude which could bankrupt you with 100x more costs, even though it might find more.
And DeepSeek may find enough to keep your engineering team saturated and busy fixing things.

replyI don't see how.
The US government isn’t supposed to be allowed to constrain speech, but they do have the power to constrain commerce, and they can ban the sale of AI services and AI-capable hardware if they choose.
reply > but they do have the power to constrain commerce
The current administration has repeatedly demonstrated they do not feel constrained by laws or the Constitution.
replyYes our passionate defense of Academia will surely survive Techno Oligarchs desire for a 20th vacation home
