US artificial intelligence firm Anthropic has accused Chinese technology giant Alibaba of attempting to illicitly extract capabilities from its Claude AI model. Anthropic claims Alibaba engaged in a large-scale "distillation" operation, a process where a less powerful model is trained using responses from a more advanced system. The American company described this as "the largest attack of this type" in a letter sent to US senators. This accusation suggests an effort by Alibaba to unlawfully acquire the advanced functionalities of Anthropic's proprietary AI technology.
