The company alleged that both firms routed requests from their own users to Claude, meaning customers could have believed they were using a Chinese company\u2019s model while their requests were actually being processed by Anthropic.<\/p>\n<p>In its report, the AI company stated that Moonshot routed more than 23 million exchanges to Claude between May and July. DeepSeek, meanwhile, routed more than 12.1 million exchanges over a 14-day period in July. It added that some of the traffic included sensitive information.<\/p>\n<p>One example involved engineers working on a case-management system for a municipal Public Security Bureau in China. Anthropic said DeepSeek relayed those engineers&#8217; requests to Claude, including data used to compare an individual\u2019s movements with police records and national identification numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic also said Moonshot routed requests involving surveillance footage from hundreds of cameras in Chengdu, including cameras near facilities associated with the People\u2019s Liberation Army and state-owned enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>Probe Lands Ahead Of Trump-Xi AI Talks<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet in Washington on Thursday. Ahead of the summit, U.S. and Chinese officials have discussed establishing an AI dialogue that could include a mechanism to notify each other of significant AI incidents with national security implications.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, have emphasized greater transparency between Washington and Beijing, while the two governments continue to compete over advanced AI technology and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic is also reportedly preparing for an IPO in November, adding another layer of investor attention to the company\u2019s rapidly expanding role in the global AI market.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia\u2019s Open-Weight Bet Meets China\u2019s AI Push<\/p>\n<p>The allegations also put Nvidia (NVDA) in an interesting position.

DeepSeek, for example, has used both Nvidia and Huawei hardware, with its R1 model trained on Nvidia\u2019s H800 chips before the company shifted more of its workload toward Huawei processors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/symbol\/NVDA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NVDA stock<\/a> edged 0.5% lower in early morning trade on Tuesday.
