Seeing people speculate distillation wasn't the objective of the OpenCode breach is a little baffling.
There's a massive war going on to distill frontier models, billions of dollars ride on it, is as big as any incentive I can think of.
@IceSolst@mattjay I would wager the main goal was distillation. There's a real battle between the frontier labs and the distilled open weight models, and it's being fought somewhat out in the open. https://t.co/u4pPSuzml3

We have information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic’s Fable for the development of its K3 model.
To do this they developed a sophisticated internal platform to conduct large scale distillation against U.S. models, allowing them to quickly switch between multiple methods of access to avoid detection. Moonshot AI has also acquired GB300-equipped servers and has accessed GB300s in Thailand, likely to train its AI models.
The United States strongly supports the free and fair development of AI, including a thriving competitive ecosystem that spans frontier models, specialized systems, open-source frameworks, and open-weight models. Legitimate AI distillation used to create smaller, more efficient models plays a vital role in this open innovation ecosystem. However, large-scale, covert industrial distillation aimed at stealing proprietary U.S. technology and undermining American research is unacceptable.
Deleted the secret from your repo? Cool. Your coding tool might still have a copy.
We found 2,148 distinct secrets in Claude files and 603 in Replit files. They showed up in settings, saved conversations, and worktrees.
Deleting it from source is only part of the cleanup.
A short-lived key is only safer if the replacement stays secret.
From Sept. 1 to Oct. 7, one container image leaked a newly issued AWS STS key 1,146 times 🫠
This is the first in a series on how coding tool state can turn credential rotation into repeated exposure.
