US bans China's DeepSeek from government in race for AI dominance

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story as a federal ban on DeepSeek in civilian agencies, with The Register and Engadget agreeing on the broad scope of the restriction. They diverge in emphasis: Engadget sticks to the Homeland Security decision and notes it came a couple of days after DeepSeek’s latest model, while The Register alone highlights the order as “unhelpfully vague and broad.”
