<p>At a org like Google Cloud barring rogue L5/6/7s acting on their own any sniffing of distillation will get leaked. Too many chaos exist at a org size of Google to systematically do it given the contract at hand. This is a company where every spicy memo or mild gossip will risk leaks.</p>

<p>i am not a complexity theorist but I am a CS academic by training (I never was a good one, but welp), and during my PhD it is often said that maybe P vs. NP an initial proof/disproof to the statement is not <i>that</i> practically important, e.g., if P=NP, maybe the NP -> P reduced algorithm is very very cosmic. P=NP by itself hardly proves that one would instantly design an AGI whatsoever. Often the <i>downstream potential theoretical/practical insights/results</i> seems more exciting;<p>> The NS equations are far,far,far less meaningful. Like I mentioned earlier, if you actually want accurate CFD, you dont even use them.<p>Sure. Consider this: in algorithm research often the most optimal algorithm in big-O is not the one used IRL; examples are numerous: matrix multiplication, LCA data structures, many variants of shortest paths.<p>An academic can work two years on faster-in-theory matrix multiplication that no one expects to be used in practice (in our currently imaginable univese). Do you consider that less meaningful than working on faster matmul kernels?</p>

<p>i really think we are opening a can of worms with these “who cares if you find a single counter example as disproof” arguments. i think the better version is “ok any lemmas or techniques we can generalize from this” or “what did we learn about maths through this” and use this as a basis to say LLM proofs are not useful<p>like say if god lets me find a single counter example to P=NP and thus disproving it — I think we can learn tons about complexity theory from this counter example by studying it. we should not have the hubris of assuming “oh a single counterexample is generally useless” — why, how. this is the same hubris imo that produced like “number theory is useless” until it is not</p>

<p>sure I get that, but like, my field has plenty of counterexample as proofs. we have had non-constructive proofs like probabilistic arguments. i don't think we can play the game of "oh this proof is useful that proof is not useful" well</p>

<p>I can't wait to tell my pure maths professors that their most of their research adds nothing of value. I mean I am sure most of them would agree to some extent, but like, dude, have some more faith in the utility of pure maths, esp. centuries down the line</p>

<p>tbh the summarized thinking with encrypted raw thinking is there for many purposes; it is there to:<p>1. make distillation much harder<p>2. safety: prevent modifications to the thinking leading to injection attacks.<p>3. also honestly sometimes the model raw thoughts can be deranged and is not a good user experience (consider the varied audience in the market, etc.)<p>also often the mass underestimate/the model makers over-estimate how people love distilling models</p>

<p>1. openrouter is API usage. There is obviously consumer side<p>2. people often use openrouter for the sole purpose of using a unified chat completions API<p>3. OpenAI invented chat completions; if you use openrouter for chat completions often you can just switch your endpoint URL to point to the OAI endpoint to avoid the openrouter surcharge!<p>4. Hence anyone with large enough volume will very likely <i>not</i> use openrouter for OpenAI; there is an active incentive to take the easy route of changing the endpoint URL to OAI’s</p>
