Like everyone does it.
And it's generally a widespread academic practice for people who don't have...
the right resources to be able to still be able to catch up and contribute breakthroughs, right?
So having that demonized right now in the U.S.-China geopolitical framework, I think more of it is about, you know, the commodity of intelligence.
Like, open source models from China very obviously undermines U.S.
labs who have closed models, and they're charging a lot for those models.
So I think there is a clear conflict of interest.
So I do see why they are against that.
And it is anthropic's own prerogative to say, hey, we want to clamp down on these practices to protect our profit margins.
I think that's very valid.
But on the broader argument that seems more ethical here on like, oh, my God, our Chinese lab's cheating.
They have been copying us.
I think it's
like, it kind of flies against the whole state of the landscape, which is that these Chinese companies are pushing out amazing open source models and openly publicly publishing their techniques.
So if you think about the recent, so Thinking Machine, which Mira Murady started, recently released their own open source model.
And they publicly said, we use techniques
and used and trained it on models like Kimi K2.5.
So when a Chinese lab open sources their models, it actually gets adapted by US companies who can use it as a base layer.
And it actually, honestly, boosts American innovation in some ways.
So I'm very pro-open source.
