AI公司Anthropic误操作致数千GitHub代码库被下架，紧急撤回版权投诉

近日，人工智能公司Anthropic在试图清理其热门产品Claude Code命令行应用程序的泄露源代码时，因操作失误，导致GitHub平台上约8100个代码仓库被大规模下架，引发开发者社区强烈不满。

事件起源于本周二，有软件工程师发现Anthropic在近期版本中意外包含了Claude Code的核心源代码。该产品作为当前同类应用中的领先者，其代码迅速在GitHub上被AI技术爱好者分析、分享和分叉（fork），以探究其底层大语言模型的运作机制。

为控制代码扩散，Anthropic依据美国数字版权法向GitHub发出下架通知。但由于该通知针对的是一个与其官方公开仓库关联的分叉网络，导致波及范围远超预期——大量用户合法分叉的仓库也遭到封锁。公司发言人向科技媒体TechCrunch解释称：“下架操作影响了比预期更多的仓库。”

在引发社区抗议后，Anthropic迅速撤回大部分下架通知，仅保留对最初泄露的1个主仓库及96个相关分叉的处置。Claude Code项目负责人Boris Cherny承认此次操作属于意外，GitHub目前已恢复受影响仓库的访问权限。

此次事件正值 Anthropic 被传出计划首次公开募股（IPO）之际。分析指出，作为一家拟上市企业，此类源代码泄露及版权执行失误不仅暴露其运营与合规环节的疏漏，也可能引发未来公开市场投资者对技术管控能力的质疑，甚至招致法律风险。

人工智能公司Anthropic在试图从互联网上撤回其最热门产品源代码副本时，意外导致GitHub上数千个代码仓库被下架。本周二，一位软件工程师发现该公司在最新版本中似乎无意间包含了其王牌产品Claude Code命令行应用的源代码。人工智能爱好者们仔细研究这些泄露的代码，试图探寻Anthropic如何利用支撑该应用的大语言模型技术，并将代码分享至GitHub平台。

依据美国数字版权法，Anthropic向GitHub发出下架通知，要求删除包含问题代码的仓库。根据GitHub记录显示，该通知波及约8100个仓库——据代码遭封禁的社交媒体用户反映，其中甚至包括Anthropic官方公开的Claude Code仓库的合法分支版本。

Claude Code项目负责人鲍里斯·切尔尼表示此次操作纯属意外，现已撤回大部分下架通知，仅保留最初包含意外泄露源代码的1个主仓库及96个分支仓库。公司发言人对TechCrunch解释："通知中提及的仓库与我们公开的Claude Code仓库存在分支网络关联，导致下架范围超出预期。除指定主仓库外，我们已撤回所有下架请求，GitHub也已恢复受影响分支的访问权限。"

此次清理行动的失误给这家据传正筹备首次公开募股的公司再添污点——上市进程通常要求企业对执行细节与合规性保持高度警觉。试想若以上市公司身份泄露源代码？股东诉讼恐怕已在路上。

Anthropic accidentally caused thousands of code repositories on GitHub to be taken down while trying to pull copies of its most popular product’s source code off the internet.
On Tuesday, a software engineer discovered that Anthropic had, seemingly by accident, included access to the source code for the category-leading Claude Code command line application in a recent release. AI enthusiasts pored over the leaked code for clues about how Anthropic harnesses the LLM that underlies the application, sharing it on GitHub.
Anthropic issued a takedown notice under U.S. digital copyright law asking GitHub to take down repositories containing the offending code. According to GitHub’s records, the notice was executed against some 8,100 repositories — including legitimate forks of Anthropic’s own publicly released Claude Code repository, according to irate social media users whose code got blocked.
Anthropic’s head of Claude Code, Boris Cherny, said the move was accidental and retracted the bulk of the takedown notices, limiting it to one repository and 96 forks with the accidentally released source code.
“The repo named in the notice was part of a fork network connected to our own public Claude Code repo, so the takedown reached more repositories than intended,” an Anthropic spokesperson told TechCrunch. “We retracted the notice for everything except the one repo we named, and GitHub has restored access to the affected forks.”
The botched clean-up here is another black eye for the company as it reportedly plans an IPO, a task which typically demands attention to execution and compliance. Leaking your source code as a public company? You better believe there’s a shareholder lawsuit coming.
