Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It’s a bit hard for me to understand the legal intricacies but the point of the article [1] looks like this sentence. > For developers, this means you need to be cautious about who you interact with and where your contributions come from. I guess this may prevent USA affiliated developers from collaborating with certain designated foreign developers. It’s possible that the DeepSeek team or other top foreign developers may become sanctioned by OFAC. Then forking their models may be considered transacting. This would certainly be disastrous for US researchers, if the pace of progress out of foreign teams continues. But then again I’m not sure why the powers that be would effect such an own-goal.
