thats one way to make sure openai can stay competitive
As someone who actually approves $$ for tech vendors in an American company, I can tell you that no matter how cheaply China-based services become, they still aren't going to be seriously considered. Anthropic and OpenAI are based out of San Francisco. Legal jurisdiction to resolve contract disputes, breaches of confidentiality, etc. can be resolved in a fairly straightforward way between two American companies, especially when they are headquartered in the same court district.
Chinese companies exist inside of a legal safe harbor where they have less incentive to play by the rules, and a much lower risk of consequences for getting caught breaking them. The risk isn't worth the perceived savings.
One of the main features of Deepseek is that you can run it yourself. It doesn't matter if Deepseek are based in China if you run the model on your own servers and thus guarantee that your data doesn't leave your own data center.

lol is he even trying to hide being a Russian puppet anymore?
People hyped for the Nvidia 5000 series better get their cards before prices skyrocket across the board. I guess graphics cards weren't expensive enough or something.
Really though, no brand is safe from the soon-to-be insane prices if this does go through as a blanket tariff without exceptions. Better to err on the safe side and upgrade soon as you can, if you need to and you're not too wealthy to care.

And they’re not even trying to create American jobs with this crap. The CHIPS Act is paired with a “chipmaker’s visa,” which intends to import cheap labor from Taiwan to work the US chip factories.
Trump still loves H1B slaves like all billionaires so it's fine
You’re not wrong, but the Dems are in on this, too. They were pushing the same chipmaker’s visa when they had the reigns, so I wouldn’t count on them helping.

Wildly bad ideas at exactly the right time in history to do the most damage.
It does not make any sense
That’s because syphilis hasn’t mushed your brain
Maybe it'll bring chip prices down to Rest of the World™ to clear stock. Thanks Trump!
