The Little Tech Association, along with 179 signatories including Y Combinator, has sent a letter to the Trump administration opposing a complete ban on China’s open-weight models Kimi K3 and Qwen3.8 Max. The signatories argue that U.S. startups are already using China’s open models in their operations, and a full ban would increase costs for American companies. Suhail Doshi, founder of Particle, stated that such a ban would put companies reliant on open models at risk, benefiting closed-source model providers like Anthropic. As of now, the Trump administration has not proposed a formal ban.
