Nadella calls out AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic for banning distillation while training on everyone else's data

Microsoft, of course, sells exactly that. The article Nadella calls out AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic for banning distillation while training on everyone else's data appeared first
