Anthropic Says New Safeguards Cut AI Model Distillation Attempts by Up to 99%

Anthropic said it has reduced the amount of data extracted from its Claude artificial intelligence models through distillation attacks by between 90% and 99%, as the company intensifies efforts to prevent rival developers from copying advanced capabilities and escalating concerns over AI competition, intellectual property, and national security. The California-based AI company announced on Monday that new safeguards restricting access to Claude’s reasoning capabilities had sharply reduced attempts to extract information that could help other developers reproduce the models’ performance.
