      Can someone explain briefly what I need to download that might not be available if this comes to pass? Like I did some searching and I saw stuff about Ollama but it wasn’t completely clear if that would be affected by this.

          So if I download this and somehow there is no longer a way to access the model online this will still work? I’m just a bit confused because I read a couple things that made it seem like even though the model is running locally it still needs a connection for some reason, if that isn’t true I’m sorry for the dumb question.

                Jeeez, just copy the ollama’s directory (something like .ollama) from user’s dir to wherever. You can check and find the files inside. I find the published 14b really useful, it’s ten GB that think and reason in english.

          Run it using ollama in a terminal (like ollama run model_name), ask it a question.

          Doesn’t matter. People in the US already have the model, so sharing it within the US wouldn’t be illegal, and the law would only apply to anything “imported” 180 days after the law is passed (if it’s passed at all).

          Also, how “importing” is defined will matter for any future legal arguments, and I would imagine this law would eventually be struck down for being overbroad.
