Two Definitions Of Model Distillation: Raw CoT Jailbreak Vs Task Output Training
JoshPurtell · x · 2026-09-03
In a debate over whether labs distill each other's models, JoshPurtell proposes two definitions of distillation: (1) jailbreaking the API to grab raw CoT and copying it, or (2) having the model perform the task in dev and training on those tool calls/non-reasoning outputs. The distinction frames the subsequent argument over feasibility and risk.
