So Meta distills Claude and Codex too? Yes, along with many Chinese labs, but also xAI (as Elon admitted in court). Many labs do it, either intentionally or inadvertently. The important questions is not whether it happens, but why! That's why I wrote about distillation two weeks ago, in the context of data strategy for reinforcement learning. Treating distillation in isolation, not in context, would be a classic case of obsessing over the tree and missing the forest
