Anthropic accuses DeepSeek and other Chinese firms of using Claude to train their AI

Anthropic accused three Chinese AI companies, DeepSeek, MiniMax, and Moonshot, of misusing its Claude model through large-scale fraudulent activity to train their own AI systems. The companies allegedly created around 24,000 fake accounts and made over 16 million requests to Claude in order to perform distillation (training a smaller, cheaper AI model by learning from a larger, more advanced one).
