A snarky take says China’s K3 is basically a distilled U.S. model

The post jokes that if China distilled U.S. models to build K3, then K3 is basically a U.S. model, adding that China is “subsidizing” U.S. compute.
It’s a snarky take on model distillation and cross-border model lineage rather than a concrete product announcement.
