I think they put two things:

* Likely they will seek regulation that would ban some models. Not sure this can work, but they will certainly try.

* Likely they will not release some of their next models in the API.

I called this out a few days ago.

They'll come up with some excuses to get the Chinese models banned.

Of course this will only work in the US. Every American tech company will have to pay 10 to 20x for tokens.

How can Chinese models get banned if American providers can still host it?

Is there even any law which can tell people about it?

If your company has any government contracts you might not be able to use Chinese models under these bills.

Damn but I guess I can still understand it but can there be a blanket ban of Chinese model themselves period or the idea being that you can't use Chinese models for american citizens or similar under the US constitution.

This is a big deal of itself and thanks for sharing but I feel like that the above idea of blanket banning chinese models is defintiely something that American AI companies want and with their lobbying efforts and many other things, I think that its up to genuine debate if this would be reality or not.

Good that the US pissed so much softpower and goodwill away around the World that they won't convince other countries to ban these models. And only banning them domestically would hurt them on their own too much
