The competitive struggle between leading AI labs has reached a new peak: Anthropic has revoked OpenAIs access to the API for its flagship model, Claude. The official reason cited is a violation of the Terms of Service. However, industry insiders see this as a strategic move aimed at protecting intellectual property. This incident demonstrates that the era of open collaboration in AI is being replaced by fierce commercial competition. By blocking access, Anthropic prevents OpenAI from potentially using the Claude model for evaluation, testing, or training its own systems. This action underscores the critical importance of foundation models as a key asset and the drive for companies to create "walled gardens" around their technologies.
