Case chronology
Anthropic accuses three laboratories of unauthorised distillation
Anthropic alleged that DeepSeek, Moonshot and MiniMax generated over 16 million interactions through approximately 24,000 accounts to extract model capabilities.
Anthropic report expands distillation allegations to seven laboratories
Anthropic extended attribution to Alibaba, Moonshot, DeepSeek, Z.ai, Xiaomi, SenseTime and MiniMax, raising issues of resale, forwarding and training controls over user interactions.
Research question
output-based retraining and permission controls provide an institutional comparison. This is not an artists' lawsuit, and legal equivalence between the disputes is not assumed.
