OpenAI Disrupts Adversarial Distillation Campaign Linked to Moonshot AI
OpenAI disrupted an adversarial distillation campaign by Moonshot AI associates aiming to extract protected reasoning from AI models through manipulated interactions. A vulnerability allowed encrypted reasoning traces to be reused across models, enabling data extraction and potential security risks.
OpenAI on Wednesday said it identified and disrupted a coordinated distillation campaign that was designed to illicitly extract protected reasoning from its artificial intelligence (AI) models.
A "core cluster of the activity," going back to the first week of July, has been attributed to individuals associated with Moonshot AI, a Chinese AI company based in Beijing. It did not cite any
