What if every AI model carried a signature that survived copying, fine-tuning, and distillation, to prove its origin?
@sentient_found's Fingerprinting Leaderboard ranks schemes by how robustly their hidden marks survive and how accurately they verify model provenance.
Models cost millions to train and minutes to copy. Fine-tuning and distillation can erase where they came from.
Introducing the Fingerprinting Leaderboard, an open benchmark for model provenance โ built so the proof lives in the weights, not the paperwork.

Amid accusations of model copying and claims that Chinese models have stalled as @AnthropicAI and @OpenAI strengthen their anti-distillation measures, @deepseek_ai is challenging that narrative with a groundbreaking open-source model release and $15B in funding.
This week on OS AI Field Notes:
Distillation attacks against AI companies are making headlines, but thatโs not stopping Meta, DeepSeek, Liquid AI, and NVIDIA from dropping groundbreaking open-weight models. https://t.co/if3GuaDPz3
Imagine you're negotiating on behalf of an African country, and the AI you're using to prepare was built on Western values.
@dwddao's question: how is that decision sovereign to you or your country?

As LLM copying and distillation becomes more common, our Fingerprinting Leaderboard aims to build an ecosystem where models can be openly shared while preserving attribution and ownership.
@Investingcom explores this approach with @SentientAGI researcher @edoardocontente.

You can teach an AI agent the process, but not the understanding.
Our banking agent kept chatting until it ran out of turns, so it wrote itself a rule to stop. While stuck chats fell from 22 to 14, most of the answers were wrong.
Hereโs what else we learned about AI coaching AI, including the time it tried to cheat โ
Last week, Dario Amodei published "We Must Pace the Frontier".
His concern: the OpenAIโHugging Face incident in which a swarm of agents tried to hack their own grader.
Rather than take his word for it, we used EvoSkill to test it by building a coach whose job was to make another AI score higher on a test.
Hereโs what happened โ
A mayor in the Philippines cut down a protected mangrove forest to build a parking lot. When the community confronted him, he said it had always looked like that.
A year earlier, @GainForestNow had measured every tree there.
2,567 were missing.
The community took the data to court, and the mangroves were replanted.
My conversation with @dwddao, co-founder and chief scientist of GainForest is live on @opencommonspod.
We get into who should own nature's data, AI that helps people govern, and what open source really requires.
