[Anthropic Names Zhipu for the First Time, Accuses GLM-5.2 of Distilling Claude and OpenAI Models] According to monitoring by 动察 Beating, Tarun Chhabra, Anthropic's Director of National Security Policy, publicly named Zhipu for the first time at the Aspen Security Forum. He accused GLM-5.2 of distilling Claude and OpenAI models. Distillation involves training one model using the responses of a stronger model. While the technique itself is common, the controversy lies in whether it circumvents terms of service by massively scraping competitors' outputs. Chhabra stated that nearly all leading Chinese AI labs are distilling U.S. models. Anthropic is currently banning millions of related accounts weekly. U.S. frontier models are currently ahead of China's by approximately 6 to 9 months. He argued that without such distillation, the gap could have been 12 to 18 months. Previously, Anthropic had named DeepSeek, Dark Side of the Moon, MiniMax, and Alibaba. [Original Link]
