Moonshot and DeepSeek reportedly shift model distillation from Claude to OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra

According to a post on X by @amir, The Information reports that Moonshot and DeepSeek are now distilling from OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra after Anthropic cracked down on distillation from Claude. Anthropic says the crackdown cut what distillers harvest from Claude by 90% to 99%. The post presents this as a sign that the fight over model copying is moving from lab to lab, and it cites Bindu Reddy predicting that all models will start to sound like Astra.
