Nvidia CEO Hwang In-hoon denied claims that AI model distillation was called “theft.” He said that learning or training from competitors' products is a “competition.” When asked if distillation “doesn't count as a robbery,” he said, “It's called competition.” “Feel free to test other people's products.” He also said that when companies try to understand how Nvidia products work, they sometimes “disassemble them to the point where only the skeleton is left.” “Of course I'd rather they don't do it.” Wong In-hoon said, “I'd rather have no one learn from our products, so we can easily lead the way. But frankly, competition makes everything better.” “If you don't want others to use your product, then know your customers and shut down the service.”
