🤨 DeepSeek and Kimi reportedly trained on answers from OpenAI's top AI Both Chinese labs leaned heavily on outputs from GPT-6 Astra to build their newest models, The Information reported Wednesday, citing people with direct knowledge. The trick is called distillation: a lab feeds a stronger model's answers to its own, so it learns the skills far more cheaply. The models named are Moonshot's Kimi K3.1 Pro, released last week, and DeepSeek's V4.1-Flash 1017, out since October 17. OpenAI, DeepSeek and Moonshot didn't respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Claude got harder to copy this month. Anthropic said new limits, account bans and blocks cut the data distillers harvest from it by about 90% to 99%. OpenAI said on September 30 it had tied a distillation campaign that began in July to people linked to Moonshot. @aipost 🏴
