Thanks, I was not aware of this distinction.

But I think my argument still stands though? Users can run Deepseek locally, so unless the US Gov't wants to reach for book burning levels or idiocy, there is not really a feasible way to ban the American public of running DeepSeek, no?




Yes, your argument still stands. But I think it's important to stand firm that the term "open source" is not a good label for what these "freeware" LLMs are.


Fair point, agreed.
