In a separate announcement on Monday, Anthropic, the creator of the Claude family of AI models, stated it had made substantial progress preventing "distillation attacks." These attacks involve the unsanctioned use of cutting-edge AI to train cheaper, less capable models. The San Francisco-based firm, which has accused Chinese competitors DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax of "industrial-scale" efforts to copy Claude, said the measures it introduced had reduced the illicit extraction of data by 90-99 percent.
