How many accounts Anthropic used to mine the web

Yeah. The "I don't care" line from The Fugitive comes to mind.

Oh no! The company that both stole all it's training data and claims to want to build the most ethically oriented machine cares whether other humans are using it to do their own thing! It kinda seems like Anthropic and the trump administration are doing some bizarre kabuki theatre.

you can reverse engineer the whole thing with just 25k accounts? don’t let the stock market hear that.

I don’t know much about the ins and outs of LLMs, but if something can be reversed engineered that quickly. What exactly is the large moat that makes them worth 1trillion?

> Anthropic wants firms like Alibaba punished Do they care what we want? Im happy that China is copying the models and make them available for everyone, with 1/10 of it's price.

The "Oh no! Anyway" meme from Top Gear has never been more appropriate. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/oh-no-anyway

Ok? Claude is already mining everything else. Why should they be protected but not the data they stole ?

It is too late, the Qwen 3.7 Max is above both Gemini 3.1 and Opus 4.8. And Qwen 3.7 Plus is on level with Fable. There is literally no point of paying exorbitant API prices to US Labs. And remember: it's not only about coding . Those "selected US companies" to gain access to Mythos now are not using it to replace coders. And Qwen is a solid answer. (The next is GLM 5.2, but not there yet - Qwen 3.7 made a significant leap forward.)
