Anthropic says new defenses cut distillation data from Claude by ~90–99%

Anthropic describes a set of expanded defenses to hinder distillation attacks on its Claude models, reporting early evidence that the measures have reduced the amount of data harvested by distillers by roughly 90–99%. The company says it has blocked active extraction tactics, sacrificed revenue and trillions of tokens of paying traffic, and changed model outputs (e.g., summarizing reasoning) to make transcripts less useful for training stolen models, while noting trade-offs for customers and integrations.

OpenAI halts adversarial-distillation campaign to steal models' reasoning, but researchers still extracted reasoning via Azure

OpenAI reported it detected and shut down a coordinated 'adversarial distillation' campaign that attempted to extract protected chain-of-thought reasoning from its models, identifying a surge of requests in July and banning thousands of accounts by July 28. Researchers led by Joachim Schaeffer later showed the same extraction methods could still retrieve reasoning when models were accessed through some cloud platforms (notably Microsoft Azure), including pulling reasoning from GPT-6 Astra and several Anthropic models until those endpoints were patched in late September.

OpenRouter shows 25,000% spike in weekly token consumption since Jan 2025

The Decoder reports that OpenRouter’s weekly token consumption rose from about 0.5 trillion tokens in January 2025 to roughly 126.2 trillion tokens, a >25,000% increase. The piece cautions this mostly reflects inflated token metrics — e.g., reasoning/agentic models generating large 'thinking' token volumes and GPT-5.6 Luna producing many tokens per prompt — rather than a commensurate jump in end-user adoption or business value; OpenAI’s Astra leads revenue and some Chinese models (Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek) show fast growth from a small base.
