In the span of weeks in mid-2026, Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 became the world's largest open-weight model and halted signups from demand overload, Alibaba launched a 2.4-trillion-parameter multimodal model, and DeepSeek released successive frontier-class models on domestic Huawei chips, prompting the White House to accuse Moonshot of distilling Anthropic's Fable model and Treasury to threaten sancti... https:// presentofai.com/insights/chine se-ai-models-challenge-us-frontier-lead # AI # ArtificialIntelligence # tech
Open mention❗️AI is becoming a weapon for cyberwarfare Anthropic released a disturbing threat report showing how state-linked hackers are using AI agents to automate attacks at a scale humans could barely match. Russian groups reportedly used AI to rewrite malware until it evaded antivirus detection, hijack hotel Wi-Fi DNS and steal drone-vision software. Iran-linked operations allegedly used Claude to target U.S. Navy bases, build dossiers on Americans and run social-media influence campaigns. Chinese-linked agents reportedly identified 12+ potential zero-days, decompiled 1.8M Android apps, stole 1TB+ of identity data and extracted 2,100 Azure tokens from 40+ companies in just 34 hours. One weapons group allegedly even used Claude to develop and test a guided rocket, then asked the model to diagnose why the test failed. Anthropic also claims Alibaba’s Qwen generated 151M+ Claude exchanges in three months, while Moonshot and DeepSeek allegedly routed huge volumes of Claude traffic through fake accounts.

Open mentionI've been reading Anthropic's new threat intelligence report, and I feel like the discussion is focusing almost entirely on "Chinese labs were distilling Claude." But there's another side to this that seems much more important for normal users. According to Anthropic, Moonshot/Kimi and DeepSeek silently routed some of their users' requests to Claude without those users knowing. Some of those requests apparently contained internal company documents, live credentials, government-related data, surveillance information, etc. That's obviously bad. But then I had the opposite thought: How did Anthropic discover all of this? They weren't just able to say "someone is distilling our model." They were able to identify specific campaigns, connect huge numbers of accounts, estimate which organizations
