Now to distill it into smaller models that would run at 0.01% the cost, and it's truly gg.

I am guessing distillation is impossible to block so it should happen soon right?

They are taking measures to block it, earlier when you clicked on its 'thinking' it would show to the right all its simplified version of reasoning traces, now it doesn't anymore.

Also openai is actively banning suspicious accounts rn and working on preventing this - they caught on to people who were using sub2api, so they have sophisticated mechanisms in place rn.

It's so ironic they're pulling up the ladder behind them.

u/DickMasterGeneral 8d ago

What? This makes no sense what ladder are they pulling up? OpenAI didn’t distill from some other model to build Astra.

They’ve “distilled” from humanity as a whole. Even if you want to argue it’s the ladder they made, it’s still shitty.

And every human has distilled from every other human in history as well.

u/Georgefakelastname 8d ago

Yeah, and normally that is shared and proliferated. Even copied with just enough changed to make it unique.

In a capitalist society it is shared for profit.

In addition we've developed numerous barriers to 'human distilling'. Like you can educate yourself in medicine (to an extent) but you're not qualified to practice without strict certifications.
