Strengthening our defenses against distillation attacks
- In recent months, we’ve made substantial progress on reducing the effectiveness of distillation attacks on Claude using new methods, as we outline in this blog.
- Early evidence suggests that these methods have reduced the amount of data harvested by distillers by around 90 to 99 percent.
- Distillation attacks are covert, industrial-scale campaigns to extract the capabilities of one model and replicate them in another, without the authorization of the original model’s developers.
