OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Join Forces to Curb AI Model Distillation by Chinese Entities

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, and Google—Alphabet’s subsidiary—have begun collaborating to curb attempts by Chinese competitors to extract outputs from cutting-edge U.S. AI models to enhance their own models’ capabilities. Sources familiar with the matter said the three companies are sharing information through the Frontier Model Forum, an industry nonprofit organization co-founded in 2023 by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft, to identify adversarial data distillation attempts that violate terms of service.
