Moonshot and DeepSeek reportedly shift distillation targets to OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra

Amir Efrati reports on X that Moonshot and DeepSeek are turning to OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra as a distillation target after Anthropic cracked down on the practice.

Rohan Paul, citing The Information, reports that Chinese labs have moved their distillation efforts from Claude to GPT-6 Astra.

Anthropic said this month that tighter limits, account bans and proxy-network blocks cut the data distillers harvest from Claude by 90% to 99%. Neither report gives details on the scope or method of the alleged distillation, and Moonshot, DeepSeek and OpenAI have not confirmed it.
