right now nollywood is embracing youtube for the same reason creators are winning on it. distribution is shifting. attention is shifting. and the window to build real authority before AI flattens the landscape is still open, but not for long.
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.
Apparently, the Moonshot kids invented time travel!
They rocketed forward in time for the 20 mins Fable was available and distilled it into Kimi K3!
Also those traces wrote their scaling harness, hired their engineers, wrote their RL environments and scaling code, cleaned their data, did their laundry and picked up their kids from school!
I wonder what Chinese models like Seeddance 2 were distilled on since all American video models suck ass?
The ByteDance boys must have borrowed the Moonshoot time machine, shot forward in time to 2050 and found the super Yud model from the future that was recursively self improving and had turned the solar system into a Matrioska Brain and was making a video model in its spare time just for Lulz.
@vangeorgh@EchoOscarOscar it’s also a totally acceptable position to not know what led to the creation of the universe. the important thing is that we are in it, and that we do what’s best for our collective good.
