Internal documents cited by The Information indicate Meta Platforms imposed restrictions as companies tighten controls around AI systems that could be used to replicate model capabilities.
Meta Platforms has restricted the use of Claude and Codex because of concerns over model distillation, an AI technique that can be used to copy or approximate another model’s capabilities. Internal documents cited by The Information show the company imposed the limits as competition in generative AI pushes firms to guard proprietary systems and data more closely.
