STAR Market Daily, October 24 (Reporters Tian Ye, Huang Xinyi) — Domestic AI large models have made new progress in going global.

On October 23, according to CCTV's new media outlet "Yuyuantantian," leading domestic artificial intelligence companies DeepSeek and MiniMax have completed the relevant registration procedures and have navigated the compliance process for the open-source release and overseas licensing of their large models.

In the aforementioned report, "Yuyuantantian" mentioned that overseas users are calling for more Chinese open-source large language models to follow suit in going global; a clear and predictable compliance channel helps steadily boost global users' confidence in Chinese models going global.

According to reporting by STAR Market Daily reporters, MiniMax's technology export registration this time covers "some recently released and soon-to-be-released models," encompassing the two core scenarios of open-source release and overseas licensing.

On October 16, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued an announcement soliciting public comments on the revision of the "Catalogue of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export in China," proposing to include 23 AI technologies within the scope of export controls, involving core areas such as large model training methods, agent systems, and high-performance computing clusters; the relevant control requirements also apply to AI models containing restricted technologies deployed overseas.

"The completion of registration by the above two leading AI large model manufacturers means that while core sensitive technologies are strictly controlled, the pathway for general-purpose open-source large models to go global has instead become further clarified," a chief analyst in the computer industry at a leading securities firm told STAR Market Daily reporters.

The analyst believes that previously many overseas customers took a wait-and-see attitude toward the compliance risks of Chinese models; now that the overseas registration process has been formally navigated, it helps enhance the trustworthiness of Chinese models in the global market.

The founder of an AI startup focused on the overseas B2B market told STAR Market Daily reporters that before the new regulations were released for public comment, small and medium-sized manufacturers going global had long faced the pain point of unclear compliance boundaries. "Previously, companies could only rely on their own judgment of compliance standards; to avoid risks, many overseas businesses were advanced conservatively."

In his view, DeepSeek and MiniMax being the first to complete registration provides the entire industry with a reference compliance model, and more open-source model manufacturers will follow up and complete overseas registration. "Chinese large models already have global competitiveness in inference costs and multimodal capabilities; once the compliance channel is opened up, acceptance among overseas small and medium-sized enterprise customers will further increase, which is expected to unlock greater overseas market space."
