Anthropic says Alibaba used 25k accounts to mine Claude

5 hours ago

Anthropic alleges Alibaba launched the largest campaign to clone its Claude AI model, generating over 28.8 million exchanges via fraudulent accounts.
The attacks targeted Claude's advanced capabilities like agentic reasoning and software engineering, violating terms of service.
Anthropic warns of a growing 'circumvention economy' in China to evade detection, turning U.S. AI investments into a subsidy for competitors.
The campaign occurred despite prior U.S. warnings, following similar allegations against other Chinese AI firms like DeepSeek and Moonshot.
