DeepSeek and MiniMax registered under China's proposed AI export controls

DeepSeek and MiniMax have signed up under Beijing’s draft AI export rules, said a CCTV-affiliated account, Yuyuan Tantian, on Thursday. The two developers also completed open-sourcing and overseas licensed use of their models, the account said. In a separate post Friday, Yuyuan Tantian said overseas Internet users encouraged other Chinese open-source models to follow suit. On October 16, China’s Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Science and Technology announced the opening of public comment on a revised Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited and Restricted from Export. The draft lists 23 AI techs such as large models, agents, compute clusters and information processing. The list triggered questions in markets and foreign policy circles about whether China was closing the door on AI exports.
