Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez said China has built strong capabilities beyond copying and distillation and that some recent Chinese models have outperformed top U.S. models on certain benchmarks. U.S. agencies and Anthropic have alleged industrial-scale illegal distillation, while China has rejected those claims.

Cohere CEO warns AI models could become most powerful cyber weapon ever
