Why distillation may be unstoppable
LangChain shares a clip from @factoryAI’s @enoreyes arguing that once you find the shape of intelligence, you know what it looks like. His core claim is that model distillation is effectively unstoppable, and that frontier labs may already understand that.
The post is light on technical details, but the substance is the strategic view: distillation is becoming a permanent part of how model capability gets packaged, copied, and distributed.
