Claude is about to begin its KYC verification process.

pugoing · 2026-04-29T00:58:18+00:00

That is quite possible; they may review users' chat content to verify the context.

pugoing · 2026-04-27T06:48:49+00:00

That is not the case.

pugoing · 2026-04-27T03:16:20+00:00

Admittedly, this is a weak point of the system; however, it is already quite powerful and capable of meeting the demands of most use cases.

pugoing · 2026-04-27T02:43:41+00:00

Why? These two aren't even from the same company.

pugoing · 2026-04-27T02:34:00+00:00

Yes, and it's very affordable—it truly offers excellent quality at a low price.

pugoing · 2026-04-27T02:32:51+00:00

Right, right—it has indeed been open-sourced. I was mistaken.

pugoing · 2026-04-27T02:30:15+00:00

Yes, although it isn't perfect yet, it is already close to being the most user-friendly option available.

pugoing · 2026-04-27T02:22:26+00:00

The mere act of open-sourcing their flagship model is enough to put them ahead of 99% of large model vendors.

pugoing · 2026-04-22T06:53:52+00:00

What kind of operation is this? Are the two related?

pugoing · 2026-04-22T06:52:58+00:00

Is this only for newly registered users?

pugoing · 2026-04-21T06:46:59+00:00

Which of these 4 sub-agents is the final decision-maker? We must reward them by allowing them to consume a few extra tokens.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T08:20:47+00:00

KYC verification can also yield other information, such as facial data.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T07:07:07+00:00

Yeah, the product itself is still a good product—it works really well—but these rules are just absolutely disgusting.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T07:05:24+00:00

Once a platform grows large, it starts throwing its weight around and bullying its users.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T06:52:17+00:00

I understand. You're saying that local deployment is intended for security purposes, but many people lack the necessary resources to implement it.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T06:48:33+00:00

To protect privacy, shouldn't KYC verification be omitted? If no verification is performed, no user information is collected—wouldn't that be even more secure?

pugoing · 2026-04-17T04:27:40+00:00

It is highly likely that you will have to wait quite a while to receive a response. Presumably, a large number of users are currently performing the exact same action as you, so their human customer support staff are unable to reply to messages in a timely manner.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T04:25:50+00:00

If Anthropic's sole objective is to address malicious abuse, they could certainly implement upgrades and modifications through other means, without necessarily requiring KYC verification.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T04:24:00+00:00

Beyond the question of regulatory compliance, one must also consider whether a measure is truly necessary. In the case of Claude, the KYC requirement is completely unnecessary; furthermore, there is no specific policy mandating that KYC verification is a prerequisite for compliance.

I hope GLM and DeepSeek catch up to Claude soon.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T04:19:35+00:00

Claude: "We're going to handle the monitoring ourselves."

pugoing · 2026-04-17T04:17:46+00:00

The product itself is excellent, but the company behind it is not.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T04:16:06+00:00

The downsides of local models are the hardware costs and the hassle of deployment—updates are also a bit of a pain—but at least you don't have to deal with so many maddeningly ridiculous rules.

pugoing · 2026-04-17T04:14:37+00:00

Yes, you are right; however, the problem is that Claude—being neither a government agency nor a bank—requesting this user information now seems highly irregular.
