DeepSeek Accused of Distilling Closed-Source Models
toptickcrypto · x · 2026-07-19
This post follows up on claims regarding the DeepSeek distillation controversy. Some allege that DeepSeek V4 outputs nearly identical results to Fable 5 for complex prompts and knowledge queries in environments like OpenCode, with even the CoT structure appearing noticeably abnormal.
The post emphasizes that this is viewed as evidence of large-scale distillation, specifically pointing to the possibility of reproducing closed-source model outputs for specific requests via official APIs. However, the current information remains an "allegation/investigation" rather than a final conclusion.
