Competition is supposed to be the safety net of capitalism that ensures high quality and low prices. Distillation is not illegal. They're just using the LLM in a lawful way. So yes we all should thank the capitalist Chinese labs for helping the consumer in a win-win fashion.
This military strategy talk is not interesting to anyone other than Anthropic AI researchers who decide to work there.
This. I find distillation way more ethical than piracy. The U.S. already jumped the gun by making this stuff not copyrightable. We should of instead held these companies liable. It's not like the research they did in the process was for naught. They (U.S. AI companies) could of sourced legal material without stooping to the same lows that China and other nations are willing to go to. All in the name of a buck.
Anyways - I pay for z.ai, Opencode Go, Ollama Cloud. I love me some distilled models.
I don’t know much about the ins and outs of LLMs, but if something can be reversed engineered that quickly. What exactly is the large moat that makes them worth 1trillion?
Oh no! The company that both stole all it's training data and claims to want to build the most ethically oriented machine cares whether other humans are using it to do their own thing!
It kinda seems like Anthropic and the trump administration are doing some bizarre kabuki theatre.
Neither Anthropic nor anyone in the Trump administration can hold a candle to kabuki theatre.
(I know that's not what you meant, but still! Art, the LLM and the Trump admin cannot.)
Anyway yeah this is beyond absurd of them to fuss about this. Oh no, the thieves that stole from checks notes basically everbody have been robbed of the stolen goods and nooow they care about copyright, huh, how shocking. I'm sure they'll settle all their court cases with artists and admit fault now, right? ...right?
The stock market rewarded SpaceX with a record breaking IPO valuation for promises that it would too offer a thing that could be reverse engineered with just 25k accounts. Possibly in space. The stock market doesn’t care.
Do they care what we want? Im happy that China is copying the models and make them available for everyone, with 1/10 of it's price.

Yeah no, fuck 'em.
It’s so sad no one is going to shed a single tear
don’t let the stock market hear that.
