Alibaba, Claude Code 금지 — 하지만 Anthropic은 이미 조용히 중국을 차단하고 있었다
Anthropic이 증류(distillation)를 막기 위해 중국 사용자를 비밀리에 차단했다는 보도 속에서, Alibaba는 7월 10일 직원들의 Claude Code 사용을 금지했습니다.
alibaba is banning employees from using anthropic's claude code tool starting july 10, labeling it high-risk software and promoting its own qoder alternative. this policy shift emerges after reports that anthropic quietly implemented code in march to identify chinese users, aiming to curb unauthorized access and prevent distillation. anthropic's thariq shihipar confirmed the experimental blocking on x, stating that stronger mitigations now exist. the restrictions highlight the fracturing of the global ai ecosystem as us labs tighten compliance to prevent model extraction and enforce geopolitical boundaries.
