Tech argument says Anthropic's distillation claim doesn't hold: Kimi and DeepSeek stream reasoning traces in real time

A technical counter-argument challenges Anthropic's allegation that Chinese entities routed Kimi/DeepSeek users to Claude and harvested reasoning traces via an Anthropic API weakness:
- Claude's reasoning traces aren't available in real time, while Kimi and DeepSeek stream full chains of thought to users instantly — so users would immediately detect a redirect to Claude, making the alleged routing path practically impossible.
- The author notes this doesn't rule out the separate scenario where accused LLM routers saved user conversations and retrieved/sold reasoning traces fetched through the API weakness.
- The quoted post flatly calls Anthropic "the liar," while the author hopes Anthropic will clarify with a good explanation.
No official response yet; this is an ongoing credibility dispute over the distillation allegations.
