DHS order 91 FR 66346: DeepSeek ban reaches models on your own server

AIFlowML quotes the Federal Register text (91 FR 66346): under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act, the DHS Secretary ordered (1) exclusion of DeepSeek and affiliate IT products from federal civilian procurement and (2) removal of all DeepSeek products plus "third-party products and services developed using DeepSeek implementations" from civilian agency IT. The thread links Crowell & Moring's analysis of the scope (including locally hosted weights), notes DeepSeek reportedly raised $15B two days later, and analyzes compliance implications for self-hosters of open weights.
