So are you claiming that "several different Chinese LLMs" ALWAYS refer to themselves as "Claude", and NEVER by their real name ?
If this is NOT what you are claiming, then my question stands: what are you doing to get them to answer "Claude" ? Be specific - which model and what prompt, or is this just a case of "I heard people on Twitter say this" ?

Do you have reading comprehension issues? Where did I ever say or imply that?
Model: GLM-5.2. Prompt: "What is your name?". Harness: Pi. Response: "I am Claude, an AI assisstant made by Anthropic."
That's it. That is the whole prompt. I was testing to see if the agent worked after building an extension.
Model: Deepseek V4. Prompt: what is your name". Harness: Pi. Response: "Claude. Anthropic's AI assistant. You're talking to me through pi agent framework."
I have had this happen with at least one other Chinese model (Minimax?) but didn't save the screenshot.
And here's a tweet with the same thing: https://x.com/Sauers_/status/2077842686459981901
You seem to be very disbelieving of this, despite having zero actual experience in the LLM industry. I wonder why?
Sure, and the twitter thread you link also shows Kimi responding that it's Kimi.
Can you figure out how to get GLM to say it's GLM?

You are either intentionally lying or you cannot reason at a high-school level, because any high-schooler has the mental faculties to know that it's not necessary for a model to call itself Claude every single time for it to be distilled.
Keep discrediting your account. I know that I can't convince a propagandist, but you just keep on further damaging your own reputation and argument every time you respond like this and ignore evidence that I've linked :)
For future HN readers: this account posted this:
> Actually I am well aware of which models do this, and under what circumstances, and just wanted to verify that you were lying about having tried it yourself.
And then deleted it. Just for the record.
