Klein distinguishes legal distillation from what he describes as IP theft involving evaded controls and mass account creation, with particular concern about the Chinese market. Why: If you're building on Claude or any frontier API, expect tighter anti-abuse controls: account limits, stricter rate enforcement, and possible KYC-style verification that could affect legitimate high-volume usage. Founders sourcing 'cheaper Claude-equivalent' models from third parties should scrutinize provenance, since distillation-sourced models carry legal and reliability risk. ai-distillation ip-theft anthropic model-provenance
