Karp: Anthropic/OpenAI are stealing customer IP and their tokens have low value

In a post on X, Karp criticized Anthropic and OpenAI, alleging they are stealing customer intellectual property and that their tokens have low value.

Background

- Karp is likely referring to **Alex Karp**, CEO of Palantir Technologies, a data analytics company known for work with US intelligence and defense agencies. - The tweet alleges that **AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI** are using customer data (IP = intellectual property) to train their models and that the tokens (units of text processed) customers receive are low-quality or overpriced. - This echoes a broader debate: many enterprises worry that submitting proprietary code, documents, or strategy to an AI chatbot effectively hands their secrets to the model's training set, benefiting competitors. - Palantir competes with these AI labs for government and corporate contracts, so Karp has a commercial interest in casting doubt on rivals' data-security practices.
