"Anthropic told investors on Wednesday distillation accounted for 5 per cent to 7 per cent of revenue" If true, and Q2 revenue was $11.5B, then that's more than half a billion dollars spent by other labs to distill Anthropic's models! www.ft.com/content/1163...

> more than half a billion dollars spent by other labs to distill Anthropic's models! I have a hard time to believe that stolen data is that much worth, esp. if those 10s or 100s of millions then do not get spent on actual training, and this data may expire quickly. It is just too much IMHO.

We are talking about real money transfers, where e.g. Chinese companies transferred 10s or 100s of millions to Anthropic, right?
