Researchers have uncovered a vast network of AI gateways that conceals the real users behind requests sent to Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, and other models. Team Cymru first counted 10,867 such servers, then, after broadening its search, revised the estimate to more than 80,000 relays. A significant portion of the traffic examined originated from China and Hong Kong, and certain clusters may serve not only to bypass regional restrictions but also to harvest the responses of frontier models en masse.
