A 'Show HN' proposes a skill for Claude Code that cleans up the memory file by showing each change as a diff for the user to approve. Its premise is as modest as it is sound: if you don't trust the model not to bloat the memory, don't trust it to prune it either.

Anthropic has written to the Senate Banking Committee asking Congress to act against what it describes as the largest known campaign to distill its models, attributed to operators affiliated with Alibaba and its Qwen lab. Beyond the figure — 28.8 million exchanges across some 25,000 fraudulent accounts, according to the company — what matters is the strategic shift: this is no longer just about a breach of terms of service, but about safeguarding U.S. leadership in agentic AI.

Anthropic accuses Alibaba of the largest known distillation campaign against its models — 28.8 million exchanges across some 25,000 fraudulent accounts in six weeks, according to the letter verified by CNBC and first reported by Bloomberg. The contrast is the interesting part: the company is asking Congress for protection just as the Trump administration itself has ordered it to suspend access to its latest models for foreign nationals on national security grounds.
