What to know

  • China's Cyberspace Administration is investigating DeepSeek and Moonshot AI specifically and has questioned employees at both firms, per The Information.
  • The probe stems from Anthropic's September 10 report alleging seven Chinese companies used Claude without authorization, including claims DeepSeek routed police-surveillance-related requests to Claude.
  • The allegations include routing of sensitive Chinese state, police and military data to U.S. models — described as the first time Anthropic provided detailed evidence for such claims.
  • Five other companies named in Anthropic's report — Alibaba, Zhipu, SenseTime, MiniMax and Xiaomi — were summoned for questioning but have not been reported as under the same formal investigation as DeepSeek and Moonshot.
