If anyone at @AlibabaGroup needs a report on Qwen's impact in order to make changes to keep the team happy I can throw it together. Qwen's hitting open model numbers Llama never even did. Most successful open model family of all time. Just keep it going, don't overthink.

The gaping hole that Qwen imploding would leave in the open research ecosystem will be hard to fill. The small models are irreplaceable. I'll do my best to keep carrying that torch (not that I've reached the level of impact of Qwen by any means). Every bit matters.

This is confusing and stands to fracture the AI community unless they are being misleading or had different information on the Anthropic situation. Feels like furthering the policy of attacking companies being defined by politics. Am I missing something? (I hope so)

How much does distillation really matter for Chinese LLMs? DeepSeek's usage was a rounding error. MiniMax's was substantial. But distillation is getting less important as RL takes over — it's easier to access “banned” APIs than to smuggle GPUs. https://www.interconnects.ai/ ...

Wall Street Journal

Anthropic says DeepSeek, MiniMax, and Moonshot violated its ToS by prompting Claude a combined 16M+ times and using distillation to train their own products

The allegations mirror those of OpenAI, which told House lawmakers that DeepSeek used ‘distillation’ to improve models
