Anthropic accuses Moonshot of query diversion to train rival AI via distillation

Anthropic has determined that Moonshot, a Chinese AI developer, diverted queries to Claude to harvest outputs for model distillation, a process of using a stronger model's data to improve a weaker one. The accusation highlights growing tensions over AI model training practices and intellectual property in the sector. The claim is based on Anthropic's internal investigation; Moonshot has not yet responded publicly.
