> If you read that, quote again, he is saying "how can you quantify safety in a card?"

Everyone familiar with LLM research understands what is meant by “card”.

He was being obtuse to try to dodge the question and simultaneously give performance for his fans.

For model cards in general, I have a suspicion that grok's training includes a fair amount of distillation off their competitors' models. That should be disclosed in a model card, and one of the reasons they likely don't want to release one.

Fair suspicion:

  ‘Savitt asked Musk if his artificial intelligence company, xAI, had ever “distilled” technology from OpenAI. Distillation is way of using one A.I. technology to create another, and it is not allowed by OpenAI’s terms of service.

  “Generally A.I. companies distill other A.I. companies,” Musk answered.

“Is that a ‘yes’?” Savitt asked. Musk answered, “Partly.”

  Distillation has become an increasingly important issue as companies like OpenAI and Anthropic have complained that Chinese companies are distilling their systems.’

He knew exactly what safety card meant?
