China's MOFCOM adds LLM and AI agent tech to export control catalog
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-23
A catalog update shows China's MOFCOM adding AI items to its export control list: LLM core tech (weights, code, training/inference optimization) if trained on 'important data', exceeding 10^26 FLOPs, ≥2T parameters, or ranking global top-10; and agent tech including ≥20-step task decomposition, ≥60 concurrent agents, ≥200 integrated tools, and game-theoretic decision-making under 200ms latency. Commenter teortaxesTex notes the specs read like sci-fi, though 20-step breakdowns, 200 tools and 60 agents are already routine.
