This initiative aims to support "high-quality" AI firms, particularly large language model (LLM) developers, that may not yet have significant revenue but demonstrate strong market potential and clear commercialization plans. The relaxed rules are intended to help these companies secure capital amidst intense global competition in the AI sector. AI
