Anthropic alleges Alibaba led the largest Claude-cloning effort
Anthropic claims Alibaba conducted the largest illicit distillation campaign to clone Claude, using about 25,000 fraudulent accounts to generate 28.8 million exchanges with Claude from April 22 to June 5 and evading detection with proxies; the firm argues such attacks threaten US AI leadership and urges Congress to update antitrust information-sharing, impose export controls on chips, and penalize Chinese labs to deter future distillation attempts.
