    Is there evidence that DeepSeek is an OpenAI distillate other than OpenAI and Co’s protestations?

      It’s literally impossible. I tried to explain it here: https://lemmy.world/comment/14763233

      But the short version is OpenAI doesn’t even offer access to the data you need for a “distillation,” as the term is used in the LLM community.

      Of course there’s some OpenAI data in the base model, but that’s partially because it’s splattered all over the internet now.
