Over a two-week period, Alibaba's Qwen processed 151 million exchanges, Moonshot's Kimi processed 23 million, and DeepSeek processed 12 million. Kimi and DeepSeek are also alleged to have secretly served Anthropic's Opus model to their users, collecting chain-of-thought data for further model training. AI
