Why doesn't Mistral distill?

Good question, given that American companies basically threw copyright law into the trash, I think they should.

American companies can't sur Chinese ones, but they can do it with European ones.

So then the European ones should join with European copyright holders to sue OpenAI/Anthropic and watch them trying to BS their way around what they train on.

[Saline9515]

Training a model on copyrighted material is fair use and copyright holders already operate a mafia-style extortion ring in Europe, so I don't think that's a good idea.

> Training a model on copyrighted material is fair use

I am not sure this has been actually established, but I don't see how distilling a model is not fair use then.

American companies won't even sue other American companies (xai distilling opus), in fact they instead form partnerships ;)

[xienze]

Well if they did wouldn't be able to feel superior to Americans about that particular thing. Perish the thought!

It’s really a pity, why can’t they feel superior while breaking ToS and copyrights just like Americans can feel superior over Deepseek while breaking ToS and copyrights?
