A post alleges that Anthropic may have distilled Opus 4.8 from Qwen, based on a Claude Console screenshot where the model reportedly introduces itself as Qwen.
The claim is framed as embarrassing for Anthropic because the company has repeatedly criticized others for model training practices. The screenshot shows a user asking “Who are you?” and the assistant replying in Chinese that it is Tongyi Qianwen, an Alibaba-developed model.
