China model census finds safety results rare at launch
SemiAnalysis reviewed 857 identified releases from nine leading Chinese model developers through 15 September 2026. It found a model-specific published safety result for 31 releases, or 3.6%, and an at-launch result for nine, or 1.1%; 813 releases had no safety disclosure in the materials checked.
Why it matters: The census separates public evidence from statements that a model was merely safety-trained or evaluated. That makes disclosure timing and model-specific matching a practical procurement and model-governance question.
