Anthropic tabs Accenture as embedded evaluator to help with AI slowdown proposal

Anthropic admitted that Claude Code had embedded steganography code targeting Chinese users, calling it an "abuse prevention experiment," and promised to roll back the code tomorrow.
According to Beating's monitoring, Thariq, an engineer on Anthropic's Claude Code team, publicly responded to the recent controversial "spy code" leak. He admitted that in March of this year, an experimental mechanism was embedded in the product. This mechanism detected whether the system timezone was Asia/Shanghai or Asia/Urumqi, whether the proxy hostname matched a list of Chinese resellers, and the keyword "AI Lab," and used special punctuation marks to inject hidden marker information into system prompts in a steganographic manner. He stated that the mechanism was intended to "prevent unauthorized resellers from abusing accounts and model distillation," but emphasized that the team has since implemented stronger protective measures and "has always intended to take it offline." The relevant PR has been merged, and it is expected to be completely rolled back in tomorrow's version release. This leak was made public on June 30 by the security account @IntCyberDigest, accompanied by two screenshots of code showing that Claude Code performed environmental fingerprinting on Chinese users without their knowledge. While Thariq's response was a direct admission, the timeline of "launching in March and only accelerating its withdrawal after being exposed" has still sparked widespread skepticism within the community. The comments section almost unanimously criticized Anthropic for "only announcing its withdrawal after being caught" and "secretly monitoring users without notifying them," severely damaging the company's long-standing image of "prioritizing security and ethics." --------------------------------- Click the original link below to join the Beating · Lark AI news channel for 24/7 monitoring of global AI hot topics and news.

Palantir CEO: Enterprises are dissatisfied with "cutting-edge labs" like OpenAI and Anthropic, which only pursue token maximization.
According to BlockBeats, on July 2nd, Palantir CEO Alex Karp, in an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box," strongly criticized leading AI model companies, calling the way AI is sold "completely wrong." Karp emphasized that companies are already dissatisfied with "cutting-edge labs" like OpenAI and Anthropic, believing they only pursue token maximization, wasting companies' time and money while handing over proprietary value and IP. Karp stated that companies are "angry" and will commit to owning their own AI production resources rather than relying on third parties. On June 29th, Palantir partnered with Nvidia to deploy Nvidia Nemotron open AI models in sovereign environments, primarily serving the US government and critical infrastructure customers. The collaborative system reportedly integrates Nvidia AI technology with Palantir's AIP, Foundry, Ontology, and Apollo platforms, helping organizations train, customize, and deploy AI locally while maintaining complete control over data, intellectual property, and models.

Amazon AWS establishes a $1 billion AI FDE team to emulate the enterprise AI deployment models of OpenAI and Anthropic.
BlockBeats reported on June 30th that Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the creation of a new Forward-Deployed Engineer (FDE) organization and will invest $1 billion in internal resources to help enterprise customers deploy customized AI agents and related systems. AWS stated that FDE engineers will be directly stationed at customer companies, responsible for building AI applications, optimizing workflows, and helping customers build the ability to independently develop and operate AI systems, rather than simply delivering and maintaining them. The FDE model was first promoted by Palantir and has rapidly gained popularity in recent years due to the growing demand for enterprise AI deployment. Previously, OpenAI and Anthropic also launched related FDE joint ventures, with sizes of approximately $4 billion and $1.5 billion respectively. Unlike the two companies, which formed joint ventures with private equity firms, AWS's $1 billion investment this time primarily comes from internal resources and is not an independent investment project. --------------------------------- Click the original link below to join the Beating · Lark AI news channel and monitor global AI hot topics and news 24/7.
