Anthropic has accused Alibaba Group of orchestrating a large-scale "distillation attack" against its Claude model. The AI lab claims that Alibaba-linked operators created approximately 25,000 fake accounts to send 28.8 million queries to Claude over 44 days, aiming to replicate the model's capabilities. Anthropic reported this to US senators, calling it the largest such attack on the company. However, the technical community is divided, with many arguing that such data extraction is a standard use of AI models, while Anthropic views it as illicit. AI
