Anthropic's report says Moonshot relayed ~300,000 Kimi requests to Claude through 5,380 accounts, and a PRC state engineer's live credentials went with them
Anthropic's September 2026 threat report alleges Moonshot silently forwarded Kimi user requests to Claude, mostly Opus, through a network of 5,380 accounts registered largely in Singapore and Japan, returning Claude's answers as Kimi's and retaining chain-of-thought traces. The detail r/ClaudeAI seized on (951 upvotes, 143 comments) is the reversal: one engineer building an internal system for a major PRC state-owned enterprise pasted internal code and live credentials from multiple Chinese technology companies into Kimi, with no way of knowing it was being forwarded to a US lab. The mod-bot thread summary records a skeptical minority calling it unproven IPO-timed marketing, which is worth holding onto since the report is Anthropic's own telemetry.
