xAI、Claudeの出力でコーディングモデルを構築——Anthropicが遮断するまで
The Informationの報道によると、xAIはアクセスを取り消されるまで数ヶ月間、Claudeの出力を使って学習していたという。競合データへの依存は、競争を急ぐマスクのスタートアップの混乱ぶりを浮き彫りにしている。
xaì has been distilling anthropic's claude model to train its own coding models, a practice that continued for months via personal accounts even after anthropic revoked official access in january. the report details a chaotic internal environment, citing a pretraining team of fewer than five people, the departure of four code leads, and lost training data due to employee error. while musk leases compute to google and anthropic, xai struggles to stand independently, raising questions about its ability to catch up to industry leaders without using their outputs as crutches.
