OpenAI Accuses Moonshot AI of Extracting GPT Model Data

OpenAI accused Chinese competitor Moonshot AI of conducting a wide-scale effort to extract data from its GPT artificial intelligence systems. In a blog post published Wednesday, the company stated it observed thousands of attempts by users associated with Moonshot to decipher hidden information regarding how its models reason through problems.

These coordinated efforts began in early July and peaked at 16,000 requests later that month. OpenAI claims the extracted data could be used to reproduce the reasoning and capabilities of its most advanced models.

While OpenAI noted it could not attribute every operator to a single actor, it asserted that users associated with Moonshot played a significant role in the activity.
