Given the current state of US government I wouldn't be surprised if soon it would introduce sanctions against anyone trying to use Deepseek.


You're right: Republican Senator Hawley introduced that bill Friday. https://www.hawley.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Haw...


Wow, why is the title tag of the page apparently a Windows file path?


Because someone copy pasted something somewhere.


New reasons I never thought I'd have to have to use a VPN. Italy already banned DS by the way.


Italy also banned ChatGPT when it was released.


And unbanned as soon as OpenAI made ChatGPT compatible with the data/privacy laws in the country. I'm sure DeepSeek will be able to make the adjustments too.


I assume the model already complies, maybe not the frontend


I imagine if lets say Hetzner were to offer hosted DeepSeek they would be forced out of the US market, no longer be allowed to even buy NVIDIA. That is a high-risk, assuming EU companies would ever even chose to switch to Hetzner over Azure/etc., which they won't. The EU is acting like and ruled by people who believe the US isn't an hostile entity, that attitude is never going to change and the biggest reason why AI in the EU is dead.


Azure/AWS biggest competitor is going to be LIDL, not Hetzner. Hetzner competes with Digitalocean et al.

You can't be serious...I heard to open an account your are supposed to send them a fax... :-)


Both Microsoft and Nvidia are already hosting DeepSeek.
