Apparently not just foreign labs. It looks like xAI distilled Anthropic models to train grok.

That's less of a worry though since xAI is patently incompetent.
Incompetence is not an excuse for amorality
Oh that’s ok, xAI is enthusiastically immoral.
What's amoral about distillation?
Except when it comes to image models. Imagine is extremely good and extremely cheap. I've been using it to generate book covers for ebooks (old novel short stories that never had a cover, for example) and it's phenomenal. Each cover is about 6 cents
I wouldn't be surprised
