Anthropic Accuses Alibaba of Largest AI Model Extraction Campaign as US-China AI Race Heats Up

Anthropic has accused Alibaba of executing the largest-ever AI model extraction campaign against its Claude AI system. According to a letter sent to US Senate leaders, operators linked to Alibaba reportedly created nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to generate over 28.8 million interactions, aimed at distilling Claude's advanced coding and reasoning capabilities. Anthropic is using these findings to urge lawmakers to strengthen intellectual property protections and export controls. This incident highlights the intensifying AI rivalry between the US and China, as both nations focus on securing hardware, talent, and proprietary technology in an increasingly competitive global landscape.
