Latest update (11-11 18:57): Meng Shao questions the evidence behind claims about Chinese labs distilling Fable

Overview: Dongxi NLP (东锡) says on X that rival Da7_Tech lacks the distillation skills it claims Chinese AI labs use to copy Fable and fall behind. The November 11, 2026 post gives no supporting detail, so the claim rests on Dongxi NLP's word alone.

Meng Shao (@shao__meng) questions the evidence behind the distillation accusations. He says a Chinese lab asked him to help distill Fable into its model and that he declined. He also asks for public official email correspondence to back claims that Kimi K3.1 Pro's promotion banned paid-partnership labels and required post deletion.
