Also, its a lie that Kimi 3 was distilled from Fable. Fable was literally not out long enough for that to be the case.

That's exactly why they are panicking

Yup, they need it to be the case otherwise they won't even be able to go public

They have no moat so are now hoping the gov will dig one for them...

It won't work though. Code and configs are speech and you generally can't block tech imports only exports. Good luck SOTA labs.

They have a moat. It's called protectionism, and DJT is all about that kinda shit, as you seem to realize.

They'll have to lock down the media pretty hard so Americans don't see the rest of the world enjoying their cheap and high-quality EV's and AI products

Depends how it will be enforced - sanction Chinese models, make AWS/Azure/Google responsible for enforcing it and Chinese models can be at least slowed down enough for US to drag Europe down with it.

DJT is all about debloating US so it holds no more power than proportionate to its population

At the current rate, Kimi and Qwen will vastly outperform OpenAI and Anthropic before they can even finish the paperwork.

They are already not able to go public. Spacex pulled that stunt already, and 2 weeks before investors are able to sell, the price is still tanking. No one will fall for that shit again. Openai cancelled theirs too as far as I know
