2026 年 2 月 23 日，美国 AI 公司 Anthropic 在官方博客发出了一篇义正言辞的声明，指控三家中国 AI 实验室 DeepSeek、月之暗面（Moonshot AI）和 MiniMax 对其旗下 Claude 模型发动了"工业级别的蒸馏攻击"。 据 Anthropic 描述，这三家公司通过约 24,000 个虚假账户，与 Claude 进行了超过 1,600 万次对话交互，意在提取 Claude 的核心能力来训练自家模型。声 明措辞严厉，将此事上升到"国家安全"的高度，声称被蒸馏出的模型可能被"威权政府"用于网络攻击、虚假信息传播、军事用途和大规模监控。 先解释一下"蒸馏"（Distillation）到底是什么。在机器学习领域，知识蒸馏（Knowledge Distillation）最早由 Hinton 等人在 2015 年提出，本意是让一个更 小的"学生模型"通过学习一个更大、更强的"教师模型"的输出来获得能力。简单理解：你问一个聪明的 AI 一堆问题，把它的回答记录下来，再拿这些回 答去训练另一个 AI。 图丨相关论文（来源：arXiv） 这个方法在行业里极其普遍，Anthropic ...

Core Viewpoint - Anthropic accuses three leading Chinese AI companies, DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax, of infringing on its Claude model capabilities through fraudulent accounts and proxy services, utilizing a technique known as "model distillation" to enhance their own models [3][4]. Group 1: Allegations of Model Theft - Anthropic claims that the Chinese AI companies used fraudulent accounts to access Claude, generating over 16 million interactions, which they argue violates service terms and access restrictions [3][4]. - The three companies are accused of employing similar methods to access Claude's capabilities, particularly focusing on agentic reasoning, tool usage, and coding abilities [4]. Group 2: Specific Interactions and Patterns - DeepSeek engaged in over 150,000 interactions, focusing on extracting Claude's reasoning capabilities across diverse tasks, indicating coordinated efforts to avoid detection [5]. - Moonshot AI recorded over 3.4 million interactions, targeting agentic reasoning, tool usage, and data analysis, aiming to reconstruct Claude's reasoning pathways [5]. - MiniMax had the largest scale with over 13 million interactions, specifically targeting agent coding and tool usage, demonstrating adaptability by redirecting traffic to capture new features [5]. Group 3: Legal and Ethical Implications - The allegations raise questions about the legality of model distillation and the ethical considerations surrounding AI training, as many large language models are trained on publicly available internet data without explicit consent from original authors [7][8]. - There is an ongoing debate regarding the ownership of synthetic data and compliance issues related to training, particularly for open-source models [8]. Group 4: National Security and Export Controls - Anthropic's accusations highlight concerns over national security, suggesting that illegal distillation could undermine U.S. control over advanced AI technology exports [9]. - Current U.S. export controls primarily focus on hardware rather than large language model API access, indicating a gap in regulatory measures [9]. Group 5: Developer Responsibilities and Compliance - Developers using large language models must ensure their training processes are secure and compliant, maintaining clear records of training data sources and adhering to service terms [10][11]. - Anthropic is investing in defensive technologies to detect "distillation attack" patterns and is implementing protective measures to reduce the effectiveness of illegal distillation while maintaining legitimate user experience [11].
