Speculation: Meta's Spark 1.3 leap may come from OpenAI distillation, hence no open source

teortaxesTex speculates that Meta's big capability jump between Spark 1.2 and 1.3 is partly due to distillation from OpenAI, which would explain why Meta won't open-source the 1.3 model (revealing full CoTs) and instead released lower-quality outputs, despite having moved on to Wonder/WFull. Unverified industry speculation.
