Un aveu d’Elon Musk lors de son procès contre OpenAI a relancé le débat sur la «distillation de connaissance», cette technique permettant d’entraîner une intelligence artificielle à partir d’une autre.
Elon Musk testified in federal court that his AI company xAI partly used OpenAI models to train its Grok chatbot through 'distillation,' a practice under growing scrutiny. The admission came during Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman, alleging the company moved away from its original nonprofit mission. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and left in 2018.
Elon Musk testified in a California federal court that xAI has used distillation techniques on OpenAI models to train Grok, calling it a 'general practice among AI companies.' Musk is suing OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman over the organization's shift from nonprofit to for-profit structure. The admission highlights how even leading AI labs allegedly use each other's work to remain competitive, despite public opposition to such practices by Chinese firms.

The matter at question is model distillation, a common industry practice by which one larger AI model acts as a "teacher" of sorts to pass on knowledge to a smaller […]
The administration of Donald Trump has threatened action to shield the US artificial intelligence industry from being “distilled” by Chinese rivals, in a move analysts say could weed out weaker players in China’s AI sector within a year. In a memo released on Thursday, Michael Kratsios, the science and technology adviser to the US president, warned that “surreptitious, unauthorised distillation campaigns” were enabling foreign entities – mainly in China – to release models that appear to match...
The US is preparing to crack down on China's alleged industrial-scale theft of American AI intellectual property through distillation attacks. White House OSTP Director Michael Kratsios warned in a memo that foreign entities principally based in China are using tens of thousands of proxy accounts to distill US frontier AI systems. Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI have all accused Chinese firms of using distillation to clone their models. China has dismissed the accusations as pure slander, while Congress considers treating model extraction as industrial espionage.
