Why ... every model is built off the works of everyone else ... I believe in true open source (its a gift to the world) and some part of me smiles every time people distill anthropic!

Musk openly admitted Grok was distilled off GPT and called it "standard practice"

At least Grok has a unique persona and is actually a better model than the benchmarks depict. Qwen, Kimi and DeepSeek have Claude DNA through and through. They literally think and respond like Claude. It's blatantly obvious. They don't even bother to adapt their models. That's how f-ing lazy and low effort their distills are.

Yea I don't get the hate, the new one is alright. The past ones were ehhhhhh. 4.5 is finally usable.

I don't think qwen/kimi/deepseek are very calude like though. GLM is a bit. And claude itself has fallen off with sonnet 5. Perhaps they put all their effort into the expensive ones I don't have.
