They make one request per IP. Rate limit per IP does nothing.

Ah, one request, then the next IP doing one and so on, rotating? I mean, they don't have unlimited adresses. Is there no way to group them together to a observable group, to set quotas? I mean, in the purpose of defense against AI-DDOS and not just for hurting them.

There's always Anubis 🤷

Anyway, what if they are backed by some big Chinese corporation with some /32 ipv6 and some /16 ipv4? It's not that unreasonable

No, I don't think blocking IP ranges will be effective (except in very specific scenarios). See this comment referencing a blog post about this happening and the traffic was coming from a variety of residential IP allocations. https://lemm.ee/comment/20684186
