OpenAI distillation crackdown could sweep in Orca, Vicuna, WizardLM too
QuixiAI · x · 2026-09-08
A developer disputes being accused of distillation, saying he was never told the charge or given a chance to defend himself, and that his OpenAI account is tied to his medical records. The exchange notes Dolphin's data traces back to 2023 ChatGPT-4 (or actually 3.5 turbo) outputs — implying that if enforced consistently, OpenOrca, Vicuna, and WizardLM would all be banned too, highlighting how broadly OpenAI's distillation crackdown could hit the open-source ecosystem.
