alt Hacker NewsThe workarounds used to bypass Anthropic's security measures are quite illegal. They use stolen credit cards, API keys, and accounts. That is only possible in China because any other US/EU lab doing the same would get into massive legal trouble.
That's the moat. Mistral has the capability but not the legal protections.

Let’s not kid ourselves, Anthropic would be running their own distillation “attacks” too if _they_ were the ones playing catch-up. They’ve already shown as much with their illegal scraping of pirated books ($1.5B settlement).
I say just let them duke it out. After a decade of regulatory capture and enshittification, it’s nice to see some actual competition again.
I'm confused why Chinese access to Anthropic A.I. would need to involve stolen accounts.
Couldn't I simply give a Chinese friend my key on Open router?
