China's Kimi AI caught red-handed routing queries to $CLAUDE and passing off responses as their own 🚨
Anthropic called them out for basically running a proxy scam - users think they're talking to Kimi, but it's just forwarding to Claude behind the scenes and rebranding the output.
This isn't just sketchy from a product standpoint - it's a massive tell about where Chinese AI actually stands vs the narrative. If your "homegrown" model needs to secretly piggyback on Western infrastructure, you're not competing, you're larping.
Watch how this plays into AI compute narratives and geopolitical positioning. Real alpha is knowing which AI plays are vaporware vs legit tech moats.
