DeepSeek and MiniMax have completed open-sourcing and overseas licensing procedures

After China's commerce and science ministries solicited public comment on revising the catalog of technologies banned or restricted from export — covering 23 AI-related items including large models, agents, compute clusters and information processing — leading companies DeepSeek and MiniMax have completed registration procedures and finished open-sourcing and overseas licensing. The commerce ministry stressed the catalog is about drawing boundaries rather than simply restricting AI exports, answering concerns about a policy reversal. This marks the moment China's AI export controls move from proposal to enforcement with clear lanes.
