The three giants of the artificial intelligence (AI) space — Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI — have reportedly joined hands to combat the attempts of model distillation by Chinese rivals. As per the report, the Silicon Valley firms have agreed to share information to ensure that their frontier AI models are not copied and brought to the market at a cheaper price point. Notably, in 2025, OpenAI first accused Chinese AI firm DeepSeek of distilling its model to build the DeepSeek-R1.
