Key points
- CAC investigating DeepSeek and Moonshot over alleged routing of millions of user exchanges to Anthropic's Claude models
- Anthropic claims DeepSeek routed 12.1M+ exchanges in July; Moonshot routed 23M+ exchanges May-July plus 300K via fraudulent accounts
- Probe examines potential transfer of sensitive Chinese police, military, and state-linked corporate data to U.S. models
The reporting is consistent across sources. The probe occurs ahead of a planned meeting between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping, where both sides are discussing a potential AI incident-reporting mechanism. U.S. agencies have warned American AI companies about alleged large-scale efforts targeting proprietary model capabilities, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously indicated sanctions could follow if evidence of Chinese model distillation is verified. DeepSeek is also preparing to brief the UN Security Council on AI risks this week.
