Schmidhuber claps back in Moonshot distillation spat, saying the method dates to 1991

This repost captures a classic AI-drama moment: Jürgen Schmidhuber responding to Michael Kratsios’ accusation about Moonshot AI by pointing out that distillation had already been published in 1991.
- The screenshot shows Kratsios alleging Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Claude for K3.
- Schmidhuber’s reply is a blunt reminder that distillation as a technique is old, with a paper trail going back decades.
- The post works as a meme-like rebuttal and a reminder of long-running attribution fights in AI.
