A friend recently showed off a security scan Kimi did that Claude refused. I noticed the writing sounded uncannily like Claude. I decided to chat with it to see if the distillation claims had any merit.

So I messaged Kimi on Fireworks with "Hi Kimi!" and K3 responded: "Quick heads-up - I'm actually Claude, an Al assistant made by Anthropic, not Kimi. But hello all the same!"

Model distillation is rational, prudent, and efficient, whenever feasible, but distillation alone is insufficient for model evolution.
