Days after OpenAI warning, Anthropic accuses three Chinese AI labs of extracting its data

American artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic said three Chinese AI labs, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and MiniMax, have extracted the capabilities of its Claude model to improve their own systems.

Claude is the company’s AI assistant, designed to be helpful with a wide range of tasks, including coding, math, reasoning, research, and general conversation.

According to the San Francisco-headquartered Anthropic, the three labs generated more than 16 million interactions with Claude using roughly 24,000 fraudulent accounts, violating the company’s terms of service and regional restrictions.
