Anthropic's Distillation Complaints vs. Reality: Kimi and GLM Offer Frontier Capabilities
Leafytreedev · reddit · 2026-08-25
The post argues that while Anthropic complains about Chinese competitors distilling their models, Chinese models like Kimi K3 and GLM have caught up to frontier capabilities and released weights for free. Given the open weights, training on these distillations should be straightforward. The author notes that models like Inkling, released by ex-OpenAI staff, underperform relative to their parameter counts compared to existing strong open-source options.
