A joint advisory from the NSA, CISA, and FBI accuses Chinese AI firms of industrial-scale distillation to illegally extract capabilities from top U.S. frontier models.

“China-based artificial intelligence companies are conducting systematic extraction of proprietary functionalities and capabilities of U.S. AI companies’ models through industrial-scale knowledge distillation campaigns that form the core—not merely a supplement—of their AI development strategy,” the agencies wrote.

    I remember Deepseek suddenly being much more advanced than the USA LLM’s.

    Deepseek was better than all US models because it was stolen. Obviously. /s

    Edit: Actually, Deepseek was better because the US prevents China from buying top-of-the-line chips, so they had to innovate in directions other than seeing how much smoke they can generate by lighting money on fire.
