VQV Signal
According to a post on X by @theinformation, The Information reports that Kimi K3.1 Pro and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash relied heavily on GPT-6 Astra outputs after Anthropic made Claude much harder to extract. Neither lab has commented. Rui Ma notes that Anthropic reportedly told investors distillation accounted for about 5 to 7% of its revenue. The report ties a shift in extraction activity to Anthropic's tighter defenses.
