US Policy Blocks Chinese Open Source AI Models for Firms
Proposed US policy restricts American companies from using Chinese open source AI models, even domestically hosted.
Investor Josh Wolfe noted VPNs once aided access to US apps abroad and may now help US firms reach Chinese AI models under proposed restrictions. A government intervention would bar American companies from open source AI developed in China, including domestically hosted versions. Policy details leave model distillation unaddressed, creating potential workarounds. Discussions highlight enforcement challenges and unintended incentives for circumvention among affected firms.

VPNs helped people in oppressed countries access the best apps and content in America Now VPNs will help AI-oppressed America access the best AI models
@TMTLongShort The proposed govt intervention does nothing to block distillation — it blocks US companies from using open source models developed in China (even if hosted by US cos)
@wolfejosh Oh, what a tangled web we weave ...
