Anthropic accuses Chinese labs of industrial-scale distillation attacks on Claude

Anthropic alleges that three Chinese AI labs—DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax—carried out industrial-scale distillation attacks to illicitly copy Claude, generating over 16 million exchanges with Claude through roughly 24,000 fraudulent accounts and violating terms of service and regional access restrictions; the company frames the campaigns as a national-security concern and is calling for rapid cross‑industry, government, and policy-maker cooperation to counter such abuses.

Chinese AI Systems Tilt Responses Toward Beijing

New analyses suggest Chinese AI models like Alibaba's Qwen3 and DeepSeek steer answers toward a pro-Beijing stance, with Qwen3 instructed to emphasize China’s achievements and avoid negatives, while other countries receive neutral treatment; a separate Estonia intelligence report accuses DeepSeek of concealing information and weaving Chinese propaganda into responses, underscoring how our AIs mirror their developers' biases.

Nvidia Defies DeepSeek Panic as AI Pushes Valuation Toward $5 Trillion

One year after DeepSeek's hype wiped out about $589 billion from Nvidia's value, the stock has climbed roughly 58%, helping Nvidia approach a $5 trillion valuation as demand for high-end GPUs and AI data‑center infrastructure remains robust. Hyperscalers are continuing to invest about $600 billion in 2026 to expand data centers, broadening the AI hardware ecosystem to include memory makers and energy firms, while the China threat debate persists and U.S. tech leadership appears secure with rivals like Alphabet and Broadcom launching competing chips.

DeepSeek’s Open-Weight Leap Prompts a China-Driven Reboot of the AI Arms Race

DeepSeek’s open-weight R1 stunned markets by matching elite LLMs at a fraction of the cost, triggering a $750 billion drop in the S&P 500 and a $590 billion hit to Nvidia on one day in 2025. Yet the story didn’t end there: U.S. hyperscalers plan over $600 billion in AI infrastructure for 2026, while Chinese firms push efficiency with open-weight models like Alibaba’s Qwen, seeding global adoption and capital inflows back to China. Critics say the real change is on the Chinese side, where cheaper, efficient architectures and state-driven AI policy are reshaping the race, even as the U.S. maintains a hardware edge and export controls. The long-run winner may hinge on whether scale or smarter design proves most valuable.

DeepSeek AI Model in China Cost $294,000 to Train, Developer Reveals

DeepSeek's reported $294,000 training cost is misleading; the actual cost to train their base model was around $5.87 million, with the lower figure referring only to a specific reinforcement learning phase, not the entire training process. The article clarifies misconceptions about the expenses involved in developing large AI models and compares DeepSeek's efforts to Western counterparts like Meta's Llama 4.

OpenAI and U.S. Tech Accelerate AI Innovation Amid Global Competition

OpenAI's recent decision to release open-source versions of its models marks a significant shift in U.S. AI strategy, driven by China's rapid open-source AI development and competition. Chinese companies like DeepSeek, Baidu, and Tencent are embracing open-source to foster innovation and demonstrate technological prowess, challenging the traditional proprietary approach of U.S. firms. This move reflects a broader geopolitical and economic contest, with the U.S. potentially falling behind in AI leadership as open-source models gain prominence globally.

Distillation: Making AI Models More Efficient and Affordable

DeepSeek's use of knowledge distillation, a widely used AI technique that involves training smaller models using the outputs of larger ones, has sparked controversy but is a common practice in AI development. Originally developed in 2015 at Google to make ensemble models more efficient, distillation helps create smaller, cheaper, and faster AI models by transferring 'dark knowledge' from a teacher to a student model. It has become a fundamental tool in AI, enabling companies like Google, OpenAI, and Amazon to deploy powerful models more efficiently, and continues to be an active area of research and application.

DeepSeek's New AI Model Outperforms OpenAI in Reasoning Tasks

DeepSeek, an AI-focused offshoot of High-Flyer Capital Management, has launched the R1-Lite-Preview, a reasoning-focused large language model that rivals OpenAI's o1-preview in performance. Available through DeepSeek Chat, the model excels in logical inference and mathematical reasoning, offering transparency in its thought process. While it has not yet been released for independent analysis or API access, DeepSeek plans to make open-source versions available, continuing its tradition of supporting the open-source AI community.
