Is polymarket the best source for when the actual release happens? Slightly sarcastic, but also ample evidence and charges for insider trading in the US government this year

I believe the initial reporting comes from 'The Information' which is highly respected. They have a substantial paywall however, so it won't likely be linked here. (https://www.theinformation.com/articles/trump-administration...)

Wonder how long before the gov. drops the banhammer on Chinese models.

Pretty soon I suspect, otherwise Chinese models are going to have free reign to develop brand goodwill. Question is how this impacts the international posture.

I’m surprised to not see more commentary on this one. Much as folks may dislike AI and/or frontier labs, this is not good for capitalism, or democracy for that matter (given the actions of the executive govt today).

Seems the writing is on the wall for increasing inequality not just financially but now intelligence and economic opportunity as a result.

This will be particularly painful for startups and early stage businesses / SMBs that will be perpetually a step behind (likely multiple steps behind over time) companies with connections (especially those that are not above paying for connections in the admin).

I’d suspect bans on open source models to follow, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it hits hardware as well to fully close the loop.

Everyone is too busy switching to a less fussy less censored distilled model from another country

They already did and a ban is practically difficult if not impossible to enforce. People resell tokens and compute.

Ban on Chinese models is coming on pretty soon. Seems unlikely they're going to shut down openAI and anthropic, but not foreign models.

This will be a fun watch, because other countries won't rush to ban Chinese models. Fun times, fun times.
