"Moonshot serves Claude instead of Kimi and collects exchanges for model training"

"DeepSeek serves Claude instead of its own models and collects exchanges for model training"

Obviously. This is how they were able to score so high in benchmarks.

> We discovered that Moonshot AI, the company that produces the Kimi family of models, silently forwarded customer requests to Claude, instead of processing them using Kimi. Moonshot then displayed Claude’s responses to users. These users thought they were using a Kimi model, but received responses from Claude instead.

> DeepSeek also silently relayed exchanges to Claude without informing DeepSeek customers.

> MiniMax built its own proxy network service through a shell company. This shell company has no obvious links to MiniMax and does not disclose its relationship to its parent company. This shell proxy network service only offers access to models developed by Anthropic and OpenAI. The service does not offer access to any Chinese models, including Minimax’s own.

DeepSeek, minimax and so on have razer thin margins but unlike openai and Anthropic they are actually making some profit. Doing this doesn't make any financial sense.

Maybe Anthropic is confusing Chinese AI providers with token resellers using the same alibaba infrastructure? Or maybe something like openrouter was switching between operators depending on price/demand/availability?

Also, how can Anthropic have such accurate information about state actors and cybercriminals? This is the same company that hacked itself and realised that first months later..

Anthropic is profitable now

My understanding of what Anthropic are saying about this is that the labs in question aren't forwarding things to Claude to make money nor even to look better to the customers whose queries they forward to Claude but to get access to conversations between real users and Claude, which they can then use to help train their own models.

(I do not guarantee that I'm understanding right, and still less do I guarantee that what Anthropic say is actually true.)

You do this to distill a model.

You can submit your users' questions async too, but if you do it sync, then you can also RLHF on the users' behavior after the output.

It’s to the point I don’t even read Anthropic’s marketing blog anymore lol. The ai psychosis is just so real when people take these fluff blog posts which never have evidence or reproducibility and treat them like gospel

Quite the double standard here...

  Conventional Weapons

  -We identified a cell of threat actors based in northern Yemen
  -We identified a China-based threat actor who used Claude 
  -We identified likely freelance Russia-based threat actors
  -We identified a China-based actor who used Claude’s chat
  -In this case, a Russia-based actor used Claude
  -We identified a China-based threat actor who used Claude 

  Biological misuse

  We are withholding the names of research institutions, the   countries wherein the activity took place, and the specific biological agents or research techniques involved. The individuals implicated in these case studies are working scientists. We do not assert that they intended harm, and identifying them or their labs could expose them to harm.

How is this a double standard?

A cell of actors in northern Yemen building guided rockets was not working on a PhD dissertation. You are allowed to use common sense sometimes.

Previous discussion didn't go their way, so they flagged it:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49646988

This apparently is the backup submission.

gjm11•30m ago
The previous discussion shows no obvious signs to me of being flagged, but perhaps it did at some earlier point. What is your evidence that they flagged it, please?

(And by "they" do you mean Anthropic? How would they have the ability to do that?)

God the astroturfing from these companies is so fucking pathetic, these VC parasites really are a blight on humanity

The future is basically something between: AGI/ASI will kill us all and a privacy nightmare.

This is just an advertorial. "Our AI is so powerful that Bad Guys could actually use it for real Bad Guy Work!"
echelon•17m ago
"Look daddy government, all these bad guys are doing bad things and we stopped them. You should regulate AI in the US so that companies can't use open source models or buy from China."
pixl97•12m ago
I mean, yes any AI of sufficient intelligence and range of data will have this capability.

And yes, it makes the future really messy and all the nice little lines we've drawn on paper that make sense stop making sense.

Wow they seem to have a really detailed understanding of the the threat actor.
