US government bans all use of DeepSeek in all government agencies The US DHS has banned all use of DeepSeek (API, models, etc.) in all US government agencies in response to DeepSeek open-sourcing their scaling engine DeepInfer. See >>544682071 for details on that.https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/20/us-deepseek-federal-agency-ban.htmlhttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/19/deepseek-government-agencies-it-systems-01126126https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/20/us-bans-china-deepseek-ai-tools-government-agencieshttps://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/dhs-orders-deepseek-technology-removed-from-federal-civilian-it-systems-060b6d3dThe US is trying to prevent their AI bubble from popping by banning this software to protect US tech companies and their stocks because all major US businesses have some public-private partnership with the US government. It also cascades to foreign vendors: while a European or Japanese product using DeepSeek under the hood can be sold to US companies, those companies can't touch it if they want to sell to the US government through public-private partnerships.The US government was concerned about this for a while:https://wccftech.com/microsoft-risks-trumps-ire-by-abandoning-the-costly-openai-and-anthropic-models-for-china-based-deepseeks-v4-model-for-enterprise-workloads/https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/copilot/articles/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-enterprise-ai-162740418.html>In a possible development that is almost guaranteed to raise a lot of hackles in Washington, Microsoft is considering the use of a self-hosted version of DeepSeek's V4 model for Copilot Cowork, as OpenAI and Anthropic appear determined to price themselves out of the market.
>>544746497bc it’s ccp spyware chang you know that
DeepSeek 4.1 Flash is good and it's literally free now on OpenCode. Why would anyone use American AI for what it costs.
>>544746638Who the fuck cares desu, I'd rather have Chinese spyware than American spyware because China doesn't have jurisdiction over me.
>>544746497>use our spyware instead of their spyware
>>544746751>China doesn't have jurisdiction over me.yes they do ur chinese
>>544746751He's not talking about it being banned for consumers, which its not. The government banned it for government use, because they dont want chinese spyware on government systems. I'm surprised they waited this long. Its like how china just recently banned microsoft products from their government systems because we were spying on them.
>>544746751And you're still free to use it dumbass, the govt banned it for govt use. In fact, I'm fairly certain the US govt would be thrilled to have more of you double digit IQ genetic biohazards training Chinese AI
>can use Deepseek locally and offlinewhy the FUCK should I give any American AI company money now
>>544747676>>544747721Do you niggers really think they won't try to do a full ban? Last year they talked about putting people in jail for 20 years for downloading DeepSeek.
>NO YOU MUST USE THE CHINSECT GLOWNIGGER SPY TECHNOLOGYCalm the fuck down gweislopper. The goybbermint only banned it from use by them. Us gweilos can use it
>>544746751They will just sell your data back to the US government.
>>544746497Americans must compete against foriegn workers for jobs inside America but American companies must never be forced to compete against foriegn companies.
