Anthropic debate centers on whether closed-model distillation fits its open-source messaging
flowersslop · x · 2026-07-29
A post argues that Anthropic could theoretically offer a service that distills a closed large model into a closed small model without exposing the distillation process, and still remain consistent with its public messaging.
The reply pushes back on that comparison, saying it is not the same as the kind of China-to-open-source distillation Anthropic has criticized. The thread is really about where the line sits between closed-model services, distillation, and open-source rhetoric.
