According to Rohan Paul, China is preparing to restrict foreign access to its most powerful AI models, a move that could drive up global AI costs and fragment the model market by nationality. Beijing recently held talks with Alibaba, ByteDance, and Z.ai to discuss keeping advanced Chinese models, including unreleased ones, strictly domestic. Led by the Ministry of Commerce with the National Development and Reform Commission involved, this indicates an export control rather than standard platform regulation.
