  "account": "Anthropic accuses Chinese rival Moonshot of secretly redirecting user requests to its own systems instead of using its Kimi software, resulting in data from Chinese and Russian state agencies being processed by Anthropic's Claude. The firm claims that Kimi used a network of 5,380 fake accounts to have Claude respond to nearly 300,000 customer queries over a 10-day period. Anthropic also alleges that another Chinese AI developer, DeepSeek, used similar tactics, including redirecting requests containing data from a Russian government agency. The accusations may damage the reputation of China's AI industry, which has been seen as a threat to US AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI.",
  "summary": "Cheap AI from China has sparked several doubts about the prospects of large US rivals. However, according to AI company Anthropic, Chinese competitors in some cases simply redirected customer inquiries to it.",
