Crack down on distillation, just for Chinese companies or is it ok for Chinese/US companies to distil? I find it hard to take Anthropic/OpenAI on distillation, because the way see it they started with "distillation" of another kind. They used all the content out there without consent of the creators and its still happening. Model distillation is just a different layer of abstraction, but same thing more or less.

Distillation is just the act of explaining things simply. Richard Feinman rolling in his grave.
