Moonshot’s reported Anthropic distillation draws terms-of-service and strategy claims

Peter Wildeford argues that Moonshot’s reported use of Anthropic model distillation raises clear terms-of-service and deception concerns.
- He says using Anthropic’s product that way appears to violate the agreement and amounts to being “deceptive” toward Anthropic.
- He also claims the scale of the distillation effort is huge, with “millions upon millions of bogus accounts” allegedly used to extract information.
- In his view, the goal is not a pro-humanity effort but a geopolitical strategy aimed at improving models and weakening Anthropic’s competitive position.
