Researcher accuses Anthropic of wrongly banning him over 'distillation'
@jiahaoshao1 says Anthropic flagged him for training a competitor off Claude and cut his access to RFT, SFT, and large-model training.
What to know
- A user says Anthropic banned him from key training features (RFT, SFT, larger-model training) after accusing him of distilling Claude to build a competing model.
- He disputes the accusation, saying his model's rollouts came from an open-source model and Claude was only used for job submission and analysis.
- The claim directly names Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and has circulated across platforms, but no response from Anthropic is included in available material.

@jiahaoshao1 says Anthropic wrongly banned him over Claude use
He posted that Anthropic flagged him for 'training a competitor' using Claude, though he says the rollouts came from a separate open-source model and Claude was only used to submit jobs and run analysis; he says the flag now blocks him from RFT, SFT, and training larger models.
“I never distilled Claude—rollouts came from a strong open-source model; Claude just helped submit jobs and run analysis. Still got tagged for "training a competitor," and now anything touching RFT, SFT, or training larger models gets me blocked…”

Shame on @DarioAmodei / Anthropic. I never distilled Claude—rollouts came from a strong open-source model; Claude just helped submit jobs and run analysis. Still got tagged for "training a competitor," and now anything touching RFT, SFT, or training larger models gets me blocked,
