In gateway products like Vercel's Token Pass, DeepSeek sits next to Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3, and changing models is a setting rather than an install.

A ban written around one vendor name also leaves its nearest substitutes untouched.","published_at":"2026-10-23T11:00:00.000Z","updated_at":"2026-10-23T11:00:00.000Z","record_date":"2026-10-23","topics":["trends"],"source_urls":["https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/dhs-bans-deepseek-products-across-us-federal-civilian-agencies","https://cyberscoop.com/dhs-bans-deepseek-federal-agencies","https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/how-one-hacker-used-ai-agents-few-thousand-dollars-break-into-scores-sites-2026-10-19","https://vercel.com/changelog/deepseek-v4-1-flash-is-now-available-in-token-pass","https://reuters.com/legal/government/how-one-hacker-used-ai-agents-few-thousand-dollars-break-into-scores-sites-2026-10-19","https://siliconangle.com/2026/10/19/trump-administration-orders-ban-on-deepseek-in-federal-agencies"],"language":"en","routes":{"html":"https://newruntime.com/analysis/the-deepseek-ban-names-one-vendor-while-unnamed-alternatives-sit-one-setting/","markdown":"https://newruntime.com/analysis/the-deepseek-ban-names-one-vendor-while-unnamed-alternatives-sit-one-setting.md","json":"https://newruntime.com/analysis/the-deepseek-ban-names-one-vendor-while-unnamed-alternatives-sit-one-setting.json"},"author":{"role":"author","name":"Andrey Reshetnikov","profile":"https://newruntime.com/owner-profile.md","profile_json":"https://newruntime.com/owner-profile.json","same_as":["https://www.linkedin.com/in/reshetnikov1/","https://t.me/lapetuse"]},"editorial_provenance":{"desk":"authorial","target_ref":"story_cluster:dhs-order-banning-deepseek-products-in-federal-agencies-c4881b0a5216","authorial_article_id":"338a0d9c-eeb3-4d39-8a28-947f26a32934"},"next_reads":[{"type":"topic","path":"/topics/trends/","url":"https://newruntime.com/topics/trends/","title":"Trends","reason":"Explore the trends topic hub.","media_type":"text/html","markdown_url":"https://newruntime.com/topics/trends.md","json_url":"https://newruntime.com/topics/trends.json"},{"type":"collection","path":"/analysis/","url":"https://newruntime.com/analysis/","title":"Analysis","reason":"Open the latest authorial analysis.","media_type":"text/html","json_url":"https://newruntime.com/analysis.json"},{"type":"collection","path":"/source-ledger.json","url":"https://newruntime.com/source-ledger.json","title":"Source Ledger","reason":"Inspect the public source evidence graph.","media_type":"application/json"}]}
