They probably used Claude because that way they don’t get blocked as fast. Websites trust Claude more. And why not use the foreign tools against themselves at presumably discounted rates (see AI losses) rather than burn your own GPU’s and IP’s.

1000’s of calls per second? That’s a lot of traffic. Hide it in Claude which is already doing that kind of thing 24/7. Wait until someone uses all models at the same time to hide the overall traffic patterns and security implications. Or have AI’s driving botnets. Or steal a few hundred enterprise logins and hide the traffic that is presumably not being logged because privacy and compliance.

There is an emerging tech Anonymous Credentials that aims to solve this problem
