Chinese Labs Shift Distillation to OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra
- Anthropic reduced harvestable distillation data from Claude by 90-99% via account bans and proxy blocks.
- Chinese AI labs are pivoting to OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra for distillation due to restricted access to Claude.
- The shift underscores the intensifying arms race in data moat protection and anti-distillation techniques among frontier model providers.
