Anthropic says new safeguards have cut the data rival labs can distill out of Claude by 10-100x ("around 90 to 99 percent"). It names Chinese labs Zhipu and Moonshot, saying one network once ran more than 20,000 fake accounts at a time. The author questions whether GLM and Kimi can keep releasing strong models once distillation is largely blocked.
