A Reddit thread questions how tied Chinese AI labs remain to the US AI ecosystem. The poster cites claims from Anthropic and CISA that several Chinese labs heavily used Claude for distillation, and notes that US data companies still sell them large amounts of expert training data and evals.
The poster finds this dependence worrying and asks how much of China's AI progress still relies on US technology, data and services.
