“Earlier this week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent proposed that Chinese AI companies could face sanctions as a response to distillation attacks. And while model distillation has been a hot topic for over a year when it comes to Chinese model performance, this was the first t...”

“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. N...”

“American open source may have a surprise ally in Howard Lutnick. According to the report, he's arguing for direct incentives to U.S. open source software to accelerate development so they can match Chinese OSS.”

“And those kind of things almost always happen when you put in kind of regulation for the purpose of artificial shaping, you know, for political ends and such. So you're going to have black markets that appear. So I don't think that should surprise most people seeing that. So t...”

“Look, I think I'll put it this way. I think we want to as this technology gets more capable, for the better and worse, we do want to yield to democracy to figure this out more and more. I think any single company making unilateral decisions is dangerous. It's a concentration o...”

“I think we're going to have to have some experiments like that to understand how to integrate AI well as it becomes more ubiquitous. Finally today, some follow-ups on the China story from yesterday. The policy debate continues to escalate as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent th...”

“it's not entirely clear how much of Chinese model performance should be chalked up to distillation rather than researcher skill”

“They are primarily interested in how AI is going to change their work and their careers and what they do. They're interested in how AI opens up new opportunities for them. And this is of course why a lot of this show is biased towards the highly actionable. It's also why almos...”

“Now, the genesis for this, of course, is the release of Kimmy K3, the model that was the subject of discussion in our Friday episode. Now, at this point, you might be a little anesthetized to every time there is some new advanced Chinese model, everyone having a freakout in th...”
