Chinese shoppers can now buy AI subscriptions from DeepSeek and Z.ai on Tmall

Chinese e-commerce platform Tmall has launched a dedicated section allowing consumers to purchase AI subscription services from providers including DeepSeek, Z.ai, Zhipu, Moonshot, and MiniMax. This integration marks a shift in how Chinese AI companies distribute their premium tools by moving beyond standalone websites and into major mainstream retail marketplaces. The move aims to lower the barrier for general consumers to access large language model capabilities through familiar purchasing channels.
