A China-based extraction campaign by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax ran over 16 million interactions through ~24,000 fraudulent accounts to map Claude's agentic reasoning and coding capabilities. Simultaneously, the Trump administration banned Claude from federal use after Anthropic refused to remove guardrails around autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. When Anthropic declined, OpenAI and xAI quickly moved to fill the gap. The core risk for CISOs: frontier models can be profiled, studied, or pressured upstream before reaching enterprise environments, and those forces shape how the model behaves once deployed. The recommendation is to treat frontier AI as a high-value dependency exposed to upstream influence and build monitoring to detect when those forces manifest internally. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
