   Why is it a problem that the Chinese labs are just distilling down Anthropic’s models? Aren’t Anthropic’s models not just distilling down other people’s work?

   Feels like Anthropic crying do as I say not as I do.

      Two wrongs don’t make a right. (If you consider them as wrongs.)

         It's not that the Chinese companies are right, it's that Anthropic has no place to complain about stealing.

            The root comment was asking how it is a problem. If one considers it wrong, then it’s a problem regardless of whether Anthropic is complaining or not. Anthropic’s complaining or non-complaining should have no bearing on whether it’s considered a problem or not.

               The difference is in the solution that would be proposed. I'm sure Anthropic wants to create some kind of IP protection regime for their model so it can't be distilled. I want their model to be public domain, since they trained on material that was not theirs to begin with.
