- Anthropic is moving to close loopholes that allowed Chinese firms, including Ant, to access its AI models via workarounds such as cloud providers and overseas subsidiaries.
- Engineers continue finding new ways to use AI models despite stringent restrictions, forcing Anthropic into ongoing enforcement rather than a one-time fix.
Why it matters: Anthropic's move directly targets firms like Ant that routed model access through cloud providers and overseas subsidiaries, but engineers keep discovering new workarounds — leaving Anthropic in an ongoing enforcement cycle instead of a clean cutoff.
