A user familiar with China's AI community argues that Anthropic's recent accusations of model misuse by Chinese entities lack context and economic sense. The user suggests that instead of Chinese models like DeepSeek or Kimi routing requests to Claude, it's more likely that third-party API providers, seeking to cut costs, are diverting some user requests to cheaper models. Furthermore, the user contends that competitive benchmarking and studying competitor outputs are standard industry practices, not evidence of illicit "massive distillation."
