美国国土安全部禁止联邦民事机构使用中国实验室DeepSeek的AI技术，要求各机构从IT系统中移除现有DeepSeek产品，并不得采购新产品。
摘要与补充说明
据《华尔街日报》报道，该命令还覆盖关联公司的产品以及基于DeepSeek实现构建的第三方服务。该部门未设定移除期限，也未说明具体安全关切，"基于DeepSeek构建"的具体含义以及OpenRouter这类AI网关是否受禁令约束仍不明确。该命令依据2018年一项涉及联邦采购供应链安全的美国法律作出。

The US Department of Homeland Security has banned federal civilian agencies from using AI technology from Chinese lab Deepseek. Agencies have to remove existing Deepseek products from their IT systems and can't buy new ones, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The order also covers products from affiliated companies and third-party services built with Deepseek implementations. The department didn't set a deadline or name any specific security concerns. It's still unclear what "built with" actually means and whether AI gateways like OpenRouter fall under the ban.
The order is based on a 2018 US law covering supply chain security in federal procurement. The notice doesn't say which security concerns led to the decision or when agencies need to have the technology removed.
Over the summer, the US government considered steps against Chinese open-weight models, according to the New York Times. The options included sanctions, a trade blacklist, and rules on which models federal agencies are allowed to use.
The push came after a wave of powerful Chinese models such as Kimi K3 from Moonshot AI. The government pulled back for now after Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, and Meta objected, while OpenAI and Anthropic had lobbied for restrictions.
