why would you give any credence to this nonsense?

distillation on a small scale is very common in the AI industry. Elon even said this recently. Most of the so called distillation from Chinese labs of Claude models were done against Opus months ago. The Chinese models are now good enough and getting enough hard problem through these API calls that they generate enough synthetic data to no longer need distillation.

Think about it this way:
if you distill by passing a problem to Fable and then get output/solution. You can get a just as good solution/output from running it against GLM-5.2 or Kimi-3. So, do you actually need to run Closed source models from distillation? It seems you don't.

Now, you probably do want to do api calls against Fable and GPT-5.6 models for benchmark purposes. But it's hard for me to see justification that distillation of Fable at this point can still lead to significant improvement to model development.

This is why I keep talking about RSI. If you achieve self improvement, then you don't need to distill off other people's models.

For the record, I don't believe that K3 is a distillation of Fable at all. But I do believe the director when he says that Kimi and other Chinese frontier labs obtained access to Fable and used various proxies to evade detection. This was likely for benchmarking & evaluation purposes, but it could have also included a small amount of distillation, per Musk's comment that "all AI labs distill from all other AI labs."

I also think that explains why Chinese labs have not been vocal in denying these allegations. Because if it's an industry wide practice that is being used for propaganda, then there's no value in getting into these arguments as they are just a way for the US to score PR on you.

Huawei Hubble Investment Invests in MemTensor, a Memory Tensor Provider, to Complete a Pre-A Round of Financing Worth 100 Million Yuan​


Recently, MemTensor (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "MemTensor") announced the completion of a Pre-A round of financing worth 100 million yuan. This round was jointly invested by HeYu Capital, Huawei Hubble, Honor Strategic Investment, SenseTime Guoxiang, and Shenzhen Capital Group, with Yunxiu Capital serving as the financial advisor. The funds will be primarily used for the iteration of the MemOS memory operating system, the productization of Agent and memory infrastructure, the implementation in key industry scenarios, and the research and development of a native general-purpose base model for memory, accelerating the engineering and industrialization of related technologies.

Publicly available information shows that Memory Tensor, incubated by the Shanghai Algorithm Innovation Research Institute and with an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences serving as chief advisor, is an AI infrastructure company focusing on long-term memory and continuous learning problems in large models. The company has constructed a progressive technical roadmap from theoretical exploration and systems engineering to model training paradigms, centered around the "Memory³" memory mechanism research, the "MemOS" memory operating system, and the memory-native general-purpose base model. MemOS abstracts memory into a producible, manageable, and schedulable system resource, uniformly managing different forms such as plaintext memory, active memory, and parametric memory, solving the state management problem in the long-term operation of AI. The memory-native general-purpose base model direction explores introducing long-term memory, continuous learning, and anti-forgetting mechanisms into the model training and inference process, promoting the continuous evolution of model capabilities over time and experience.

Currently, Memory Tensor has established partnerships with benchmark clients such as China Merchants Securities, China Haicheng, Honor, Lenovo Group, and Haier Xiaoyou, deeply integrating into the industrial ecosystems of NVIDIA, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, and Biren, and has achieved large-scale commercial deployment in fields such as gaming, edge smart hardware, finance, and industry.

Probably some ethnic Chinese guy within Misanthropic is responsible for the leak. I encourage the Mango regime to purge all ethnic Chinese AI researchers from the US.

The content of the accusation is of course fully fabricated and even grotesque..but this is not the point.

When these people put up such nonsense is not to persuade the audience, US officials have historically never paid much attention to the credibility of their statements in general, they are the hegemon, they don't need to. It's a sign of weakness to spend efforts in sensible reasons for your actions.

This guy is not the only one, I have listened other officials to state the same thing. The intent is clear: to ban Chinese open weights models.

Powerful investors, the same ones that lobby and fund US politicians, have poured hundreds of billions of $$ into US closed model firms, the plan is to IPO them and recover back the money (and eventually make much more). Kimi 3 is an annoying nuisance along that road, so it must be stopped..all Chinese AI open models must be stopped...the US open models are not so problematic, will always remain at lower level (by design) compared to the big ones.

At the end of the day, US politicians will do what their donors tell them to do.
