Yuyuantantian: DeepSeek and MiniMax have smoothly completed registration procedures and finished open-sourcing and overseas authorized use

Odaily reports: Yuyuantantian stated in a post that on October 16, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology publicly solicited opinions on the revision of the Catalog of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export in China (hereinafter referred to as the Catalog). Among them, there are 23 AI-related technologies, including large models, agents, computing clusters, information processing, and more. After the Catalog was released, some people raised questions: China emphasizes technological openness, so why suddenly impose "export restrictions" on AI? Is this a signal of a policy shift? It is reported that since the policy was announced, two leading companies, DeepSeek and MiniMax, have smoothly completed registration procedures and finished open-sourcing and overseas authorized use. In relevant Q&A, the Ministry of Commerce clearly gave more and more specific explanations of "what is not regulated" than of "what is regulated." This also shows that the core of the Catalog is to delineate boundaries, rather than simply restricting the external export of AI technology.
