GoKawiilOpenAI says it disrupted campaign tied to Moonshot AI to extract model reasoning
OpenAI reported identifying and shutting down a coordinated effort, beginning in early July, to extract protected reasoning from its AI models through manipulated interactions rather than any breach of its systems. The activity peaked at 16,000 requests from over 4,000 users in two days, eventually involving a cluster of more than 15,000 users, and was fully disrupted by July 28. OpenAI linked a core part of the campaign to individuals associated with Chinese startup Moonshot AI, maker of Kimi, which has not responded to requests for comment.
