Melvin(@MelvinInvests):China wants to control exports of its most powerful AI models. A new draft adds 23 AI technologies to its export control list, including large models, AI agents and computing clusters. Frontier models above 2 trillion parameters, or trained with more than 10^26 FLOPs, would need a license before their weights or source code leave the country. Open source models that are already public are exempt.
