Alibaba bans Claude for staff – Anthropic didn't want them using it anyway

Alibaba has instructed its employees to cease using Anthropic's Claude Code AI model after detecting that it flagged users accessing it from China. Anthropic, the developer of Claude, had already been attempting to prevent Chinese companies from utilizing its technology and claims that Alibaba engaged in 'distillation' efforts, allegedly using approximately 25,000 fake accounts to train its own AI models based on Claude. The situation highlights tensions between major AI developers over intellectual property and competitive practices.
