This is making the case for Anthropic KYC for US citizens. No one would allow their accounts to do this if they were on the hook for it from the US government.

If you're an AI booster surely you'd think this was a good thing as it means more models are available in more places to more people more easily. I'm exactly the opposite, and I think this is a good thing because I want Anthropic to suffer.

Soon, when even the enterprise subscriptions will have ads, every session will begin with a mandatory generated image:

> you would NEVER distill a model..

Let’s hope they distilled it properly so we can have the best of both worlds: a decent model to work with without Anthropic’s drama.

Does anyone have hints on what kinds of prompts are most used for a distillation like this—SWE-Bench sorts of things?

Is reconstructing the compressed knowledge in the model like reconstructing a lossy JPG or MP3 a reasonable analogy?

Isn't this done in the open? I saw the Qwopus model the other day. Basically same thing?

Alibaba did a research on Anthropic capabilities? Interesting.

in a few more months, when Chinese model gets to Mythos capacity and Fable still locked down. What Anthropic will say? Why can they just admit they are not the only people who know how to train an LLM model.

This is supposed to be negative, but all I can really think of is "Good."
