Anthropic formally accused DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax of using 24K fake accounts and 16M exchanges to extract Claude's capabilities. The targeting specifically hit agentic reasoning, tool use, and coding — the exact capabilities powering the tools builders use daily. MiniMax reportedly pivoted to new Claude models within 24 hours of release. For builders, this raises dependency questions: if your agent stack depends on models that may themselves be distilled copies, what's your actual supply chain?
