OpenAI disrupts extraction attempts linked to Moonshot AI’s Kimi
- Published
OpenAI said it disrupted a campaign tied to people associated with Moonshot AI and its Kimi chatbot, and described the activity as attempts to extract how its models handle reasoning on difficult tasks. One report put the peak at 16,000 attempted requests from more than 4,000 users on July 24 and 25, and another said the broader activity was disrupted by July 28.

What it means
Users and builders following this dispute see a public move in a rivalry over model behavior, with OpenAI naming activity tied to Moonshot-related users and describing attempts to probe reasoning systems. That puts attention on how closely competitors monitor each other’s model use and testing activity now, not later.
In practice, the activity described here could be identified and interrupted, and OpenAI said it had already disrupted the broader campaign by July 28. What remains the same is that the reports still describe attempts to send requests at scale, including a peak of 16,000 attempted requests over July 24 and 25.
