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.
What Anthropic is doing requires way more resources than what the Chinese labs are doing. So their complaint is that they do 95% of the work and the Chinese labs do the last 5% and call it their own.
An argument can be made that Anthropic is also only doing the last 5% of the work (because the content they are training on was the other 95%) but that's a bit more philosophical.
Deepmind was indirectly distilling Claude 3, XAI was doing this to other models (with Musk shrugging it off like something unremarkable, which it is), it has nothing to do with nebulous stereotypes like East, West, China this, America that. It's mostly Amodei and Altman screeching over this fact.
