It's just the first layer and there are multiple layers underneath this that we don't know about.

As a side note, I have a pet theory that one of the reasons that OpenAI and Anthropic are okay with the latest models not being released is to prevent distillation.

I think they want to wait a couple months and see if the Chinese models continue to keep catching up or if their gains are really just because they're distilling the frontier models.

That makes little sense in a highly competitive market where your competitive edge is waning by the minute. Tey dumped billions into creating the new models. Just letting them sit there just to see what the Chineee do makes no sense.

Oh, of course. I am sure this is the tip of an iceberg of tons of server-side detections and analytics. But, still, the client-side portion could've been done more cleverly.

What I meant was "some of the specific things in this little client-only snippet could've stayed server-only". I am sure long before they added this they already had tons of other mostly-server-side detection coverage.
