Michael Kratsios & Anthropic

Michael Kratsios: Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, published a memo indicating the US would crack down on attempts by Chinese companies to exploit outputs from US AI models, a warning that Anthropic claims Alibaba Group defied.

Anthropic: Anthropic has accused Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. of a large-scale 'distillation attack' on its Claude AI model, which could undermine its competitive edge and cost billions in R&D. The company is seeking government intervention to protect its intellectual property, but also faces export controls on its own models from the US government.
