Musk xAI caught distilling freebie Claude: first they lifted the model, then they leased the compute power to Anthropic.
According to Beating reports, xAI's distillation project has been training code models on Claude's outputs for months. After Anthropic shut down official channels, xAI pivoted to third-party intermediary platforms to keep extracting data. Even more dramatic, Anthropic, facing compute bottlenecks, is renting data center power from xAI for a cool $1.25 billion a month.
Why it matters: This reveals one of the most surreal realities in the AI industry—competitors are simultaneously "lifting models" and "selling compute power"; compute scarcity has become a tougher bottleneck than model capabilities.
