Anthropic Says Chinese AI Labs Have Been Systematically Stealing Its Model's Brain
Anthropic has published a report this week making a serious allegation: Alibaba, Moonshot AI, and DeepSeek have been running what the company calls distillation campaigns against its Claude models, systematically extracting knowledge from Claude to improve their own AI systems. And Anthropic says these campaigns have escalated significantly in recent months.
Key Takeaways
- Anthropic directly named Alibaba, Moonshot AI, and DeepSeek as entities running distillation campaigns against Claude
- The campaigns involved persistent, coordinated access with rotating accounts to avoid detection
- Distilled models inherit Claude's output patterns but not its safety training commitments
- Anthropic has limited legal recourse across international jurisdictions
