China has now registered 1,112 generative AI services, after 124 more in July and August

The Cyberspace Administration of China said on 14 September that 124 more generative AI services completed registration with it in July and August 2026 ^[1].

That brought the total to 1,112 registered services by 31 August, according to the regulator ^[1].

The new batch includes 7 services that run generative AI on the phone itself rather than in the cloud ^[1].

What it covers

Generative AI services offered to the public in China, which must register under the country's interim measures on generative AI ^[1].

Apps and features that call a registered model through an API are registered with local offices of the regulator instead. There were 133 new ones in July and August, and 731 in total ^[1].

Apps must show which registered model they use, with its name and registration number, on their product pages ^[1].

What it does not tell you

How many of the services are in use, or by how many people. Registration permits a service to operate; it does not measure use ^[1].

What the review involved. The announcement lists the approvals, not the reasons any were refused ^[1].
