DeepSeek and MiniMax win approval to open-source AI models overseas
Chinese state media reported that DeepSeek and MiniMax Group Inc. have completed the required registration with Chinese authorities and received official approval to open‑source and deploy their artificial‑intelligence models abroad. The approval is tied to a set of proposed export‑control rules that Beijing is drafting to govern how domestic AI technologies can be shared internationally.
Key points
- DeepSeek and MiniMax completed registration with Chinese authorities, according to state media.
- Both firms received approval to open‑source and deploy AI models overseas under proposed export controls.
- Approval signals Beijing’s effort to regulate and enable export of domestic AI technologies.
The announcement comes amid a broader wave of home‑grown Chinese AI firms seeking to expand beyond the domestic market, and the state media piece suggests the government is moving to formalise a regulatory pathway for such exports. No specific models, timelines, or quantitative details were provided, and the report does not quote the companies directly.
