Copying is not frowned upon in the LLM ecosystem. This is its very reason of existence.

How to make an apple pie from scratch with no copying:

Step 1: invent the universe

abdullahkhalids 19 hours ago | parent | next [-]

Funnily enough, you will have to pretty accurately copy the laws of our universe to make an Apple pie. Even small changes will change the properties of atoms, and hence all of chemistry and biology. And there won't be any apples or wheat.

The baker is not asking you to trust them with your entire knowledge base in exchange for an apple pie.

Why do you trust Sam Altman?

piker 18 hours ago | parent [-]

I don't trust him or Dario frankly, but I don't run a Fortune 500 company. They obviously do.

Perhaps, but "we run the exact same business as Anthropic and OpenAI to the pixel at 0.1% the price" is going to raise eyebrows.

Eyebrows will raise at Anthropic / OpenAI, perhaps. Why are they charging 1000x more for the exact same business?

The 'distillation is theft!' shtick won't last long. In fact, unlike Anthropic/OpenAI, these Chinese labs actually had to pay for that 'stolen' training data.

The implication they want to avoid, I'm suggesting, is because the CCP isn't plugged into and funding those entities' activities at a loss. Or they're lying about ZDR, etc. etc.

GLM 5.2 and Kimi 3 both had huge API pricing jumps (GLM most expensive chinese model, by a lot, then then Kimi 3 a lot higher than that). the cost advantage is rapidly decaying. the oft-cited cost per task makes Kimi look good vs Anthropic but even, or slightly vs OpenAI

Once the OpenAI/Anthropic-driven hype dies down people with decision-making power will be taking a look at the numbers and look at real productivity metrics. And they'll see it makes little sense to pay so much when competition is around and similarly good.

This is already happening.

Firms aren’t going to wait - their valuations are driven by it. So too is the compensation of those running them.

Why?

piker 20 hours ago | parent [-]

For fear that the data they're entrusted with will be copied or that there is some nefarious reason like state sponsorship that makes the activity economical?
