Anthropic has accused Alibaba and its Qwen AI lab of conducting the largest known distillation attack on its AI models, using about 25,000 fake accounts to perform 28.8 million exchanges with Anthropic's Claude models. Distillation is an AI training method where a smaller model is built from a more advanced one, which Anthropic claims Alibaba did illicitly to extract its AI capabilities. The accusation was detailed in a letter to the U.S. Senate, urging coordinated government and industry action to protect American AI leadership. Alibaba has not responded to the allegations, which come amid growing concerns over Chinese AI models challenging U.S. dominance in the field.
