Dev accuses Anthropic of stealing his ZK-proof research for AI accountability

tszzl · x · 2026-11-05

A developer claims his friend spent 10 months building zero-knowledge proofs for AI accountability, only for Anthropic to announce strikingly similar research days after he applied for compute support — asking Anthropic to collaborate instead of appropriating the work, with proof attached.

willdepue (OpenAI devrel) amplified the accusation, sarcastically noting that spreading such rumors about competitors can't hurt. Anthropic has not responded; the claim is unverified.
