Anthropic Says Alibaba Must Be Punished for Largest 'Claude Cloning' Attack

Anthropic alleges that Alibaba carried out the largest-ever attempt to clone its Claude AI model and steal its capabilities, and is calling for the Chinese tech giant to be punished. Anthropic claims the effort defied U.S. policy aimed at protecting frontier AI. The accusation escalates tensions over AI intellectual property between American and Chinese labs.
