Opinion: DS Grayscale Tests Suspected of Using Claude Trajectories, Giving US Models an Edge
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-25
Regarding routing strategies in AI model evaluations, a viewpoint suggests that DeepSeek (DS) might have privileged access to a transfer station, allowing it to freely use Claude's reasoning trajectories. Observed cases of DS routing to Claude during grayscale tests are seen as an attempt to leverage stronger model capabilities. The opinion argues that this situation will persist until the Chinese data industry matches US maturity levels or until new models (like Mythos 2/Astra) can effectively crush routing and transfer stations.
