DeepSeek and MiniMax complete registration for open-source and overseas authorized use
English text is being prepared.
According to Yuyuantantian, on October 16, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology solicited public comments on the revision of the Catalog of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export in China, which involves 23 AI-related technologies including large models, agents, computing clusters, and information processing. Since the policy was announced, the two leading companies DeepSeek and MiniMax have completed registration procedures and finished open-source and overseas authorized use. In its Q&A, the Ministry of Commerce gave more and more specific explanations of "what is not regulated" than of "what is regulated." The report holds that the core of the Catalog is to delineate boundaries rather than simply restrict the export of AI technology.

据玉渊谭天，10月16日，商务部、科技部就修订《中国禁止出口限制出口技术目录》（以下简称《目录》）公开征求意见。其中，有23项人工智能领域技术，包括大模型、智能体、算力集群、信息处理等。《目录》出来后，一些人提出了疑问：中国强调技术开放，怎么突然要给AI加上“出口限制”了？这次是不是政策转向的信号？据悉，政策公布以来，DeepSeek、MiniMax两家头部企业已顺利履行登记手续，并完成开源和海外授权使用。商务部在相关答问中，对“什么不管”的解释，明显比对“什么要管”的解释更多、更具体。从这也能看出，《目录》的核心是划定边界，而非单纯限制AI技术对外出口。
