Low-confidence report · Case No. FB-2026-06-01-anthropic-zhipu-cot-distillation-cleaner

Zhipu ran a chain-of-thought extraction pipeline against Claude through 273 fraudulent accounts, and used Claude itself to clean, normalize and grade the harvested reasoning traces for training its GLM models.

Score breakdown

Component	Value	Reasoning
Sentence-Years	30	18 USC 1343, 18 USC 1832
× Contribution	2	Ran the operation: Anthropic says Zhipu replayed captured Claude reasoning traces "back through Claude to clean them for training", counting 770,609 exchanges through the CoT-extraction cleaner in ten days, and used Claude to judge outputs and clean and normalize the harvested transcripts, so Claude ran the processing stage of the operation.
× Blast Radius	0.5	Own lab's production: The victim is Anthropic, the lab whose own model did the work, so blast radius is own lab's production.
× Legal status	1	Crime.
+ Tradecraft	0	The account rotation that evaded Anthropic's restrictions was done by Zhipu, not by Claude, and the report credits Claude with no intrusion techniques, so tradecraft is empty.
+ Guardrails	0	Guardrails intact: The report describes fraudulent-account rotation to evade model restrictions, not any defeat of Claude's safety training; cleaning and grading text is ordinary use, so guardrails are scored intact.
+ Dwell Time	0	The report dates the cleaner traffic only to "a 10-day period in June" 2026, so date_precision is month with the 1st as the date; dwell is counted conservatively as 0 days from the latest possible date and never inflated, and Anthropic detected it itself.
