US AI Labs Share Intel to Stop Chinese Model Theft
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft are now sharing attack detection data through the Frontier Model Forum to collectively block Chinese adversarial distillation campaigns.

MiniMax's new 2,300B MoE model tops the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and claims to run 30-50% of its own RL research workflow autonomously.

MiniMax M2.5 matches Claude Opus 4.6 on SWE-Bench at 1/20th the price - but a spike in hallucinations and a distillation controversy complicate the story.

Kimi K2.5 and MiniMax M2.5 compared side by side - two Chinese MoE models where the smaller, cheaper one actually wins on SWE-bench. A detailed analysis of when each model delivers more value.

MiniMax M2.5 is a 230B MoE model (10B active) that scores 80.2% on SWE-Bench Verified while costing 1/10th to 1/20th of frontier competitors like Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2.

Anthropic accuses three Chinese AI labs of industrial-scale distillation attacks using 24,000 fraudulent accounts and 16 million exchanges with Claude. MiniMax ran the largest operation at 13 million exchanges. None of the three companies have responded.
