Anthropic says new safeguards sharply reduce AI distillation attacks
- Anthropic said new safeguards reduced data collected or harvested in unauthorized distillation attacks on its Claude models by about 90% to 99%.
- The measures restrict access to Claude’s reasoning, block proxy-based probing, and make extracted reasoning tokens 10 to 100 times less common.
- Anthropic banned tens of thousands of accounts and identified Chinese startup Z.ai, also known as Zhipu, as an example of suspected or attempted distillation activity.
- Anthropic said its defenses have a false-positive rate below 0.1% but require rejecting revenue and large volumes of traffic from malicious networks.
