Anthropic has accused Alibaba's Qwen team of engaging in large-scale "model distillation" by using 25,000 accounts to interact with its AI models 28.8 million times over 45 days. This alleged action, aimed at extracting core capabilities, is seen by Anthropic as a significant attempt to gain an unfair advantage. The AI company is escalating its response from technical exposure to political pressure, urging US lawmakers to consider sanctions against Chinese firms that illicitly use AI model outputs for training. This move is part of a broader effort by Anthropic and other leading AI labs to establish stricter regulations against such data-scraping practices, which they claim cost the industry billions annually and threaten future IPOs.
