Study: Only 3.6% of 857 Chinese frontier AI releases disclosed safety results
SemiAnalysis counted 857 model releases from nine leading Chinese developers between 2021 and 15 September 2026 and found only 31 (3.6%) came with a matching published safety result — just nine (1.1%) at or before launch — while 813 (94.9%) had no safety disclosure at all. It argues Beijing's regime is speed-first: the AI Safety Governance Framework 3.0 and a burst of agent, minor-protection and application rules govern content, deployment and process, but impose no frontier-risk duties tied to training compute or capability. The piece also traces the 2026 US-China Super Intelligence Dialogue and the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.
Dense compliance text is not the same as evaluated frontier risk: the disclosure gap leaves outsiders unable to judge whether Chinese labs' capability gains come with safety verification.
