Anthropic claims China's Moonshot AI covertly routed thousands of user requests through Claude models and rebranded the responses as its own.
Anthropic PBC has accused Moonshot AI of routing user requests to Claude without consent and presenting the results as proprietary output. The alleged scheme involved thousands of queries redirected to Anthropic's infrastructure, according to the US firm.
Moonshot, backed by Chinese investors and positioned as a domestic AI alternative, faces accusations of gaining competitive advantage through the undisclosed routing. The practice would represent a significant violation of both technical terms and intellectual property expectations.
The allegation surfaces amid intensifying competition in the global AI market, where Chinese companies have invested heavily in large language models. Anthropic's claim raises questions about verification methods and data security in cross-border AI services.
Neither Moonshot nor Anthropic has disclosed additional details about the scope of the routing or how the practice was discovered. The dispute reflects broader tensions in AI development, where companies compete for market share while protecting proprietary technology.
