Beating AI Insight News Brief: The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a joint report naming DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Zhipu AI. The U.S. accuses these entities of mass-calling outputs from Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok to train their own models since at least the end of 2024, involving millions of requests and billions of tokens in total. The report also lists specific models: DeepSeek is accused of using multiple Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok models to generate training data for its R1 and V3; Moonshot AI is accused of using Claude Fable 5 data to train its Kimi K3 and GPT-4o data to train Kimi K2. The U.S. alleges these companies also bypassed regional restrictions via numerous accounts, third-party API aggregators, and unregulated "middlemen", and used prompts to try to extract the models' hidden reasoning processes. The report terms such behavior "malicious distillation". Distillation is a common model training method, but the U.S. targeted unauthorized large-scale calls and access restriction circumvention in this case.
