Anthropic has detailed three “industrial-scale” AI model distillation campaigns by overseas labs designed to extract abilities from Claude. These competitors generated over 16 million exchanges using approximately 24,000 deceptive accounts. Their goal was to acquire proprietary logic to improve their competing platforms. The extraction technique, known as distillation, involves training a weaker system on the […]

Researchers from Microsoft have unveiled a scanning method to identify poisoned models without knowing the trigger or intended outcome. Organisations integrating open-weight large language models (LLMs) face a specific supply chain vulnerability where distinct memory leaks and internal attention patterns expose hidden threats known as “sleeper agents”. These poisoned models contain backdoors that lie dormant
