Anthropic reports large-scale distillation attacks by Alibaba, Moonshot AI, and DeepSeek targeting advanced model capabilities like reasoning and tool use. The campaigns involved techniques to extract chain-of-thought data through deceptive prompts, with Alibaba's efforts being the largest observed.
