英伟达CEO黄仁勋表示，AI模型蒸馏——即模型基于其他模型的输出进行训练——是“竞争”，尽管白宫称其为盗窃。
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said AI model distillation — models being trained on other models' outputs — is "competition," despite the White House calling it theft.
蒸馏已成为美中在争夺AI霸权紧张关系中的一个关键爆发点。美国官员指责中国AI公司进行蒸馏。
Distillation has become a key flashpoint in tensions between the U.S. and China in their race for AI supremacy. U.S. officials have accused Chinese AI companies of distillation.
财政部长斯科特·贝森特在7月将其描述为“盗窃”，并威胁对利用蒸馏从美国制造的模型中提取能力的海外公司实施制裁。
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described it as "theft" in July and threatened sanctions against overseas companies that use it to extract capability from U.S.-built models.
但当被问及蒸馏是否“不算抢劫”时，黄仁勋周一告诉CNBC的《Squawk Box》：“那叫竞争。”他说：“你可以随意测试别人的产品，”并补充说，英伟达的产品有时会被“拆解到只剩骨头”，因为公司试图了解它们的工作原理。
But, when asked if distillation was "not robbery," Huang told CNBC's Squawk Box on Monday: "That's called competition." "You're allowed to test somebody else's products all you want," he said, adding that Nvidia's products are sometimes stripped "down to bones" as companies tried to learn how they worked.
“我真的希望他们不要这样做，”他说。“我真的希望没有人从我们的产品中学习，我们就能轻松前行。但说实话，竞争让一切变得更好。”黄仁勋说：“如果你不喜欢这样，如果你不喜欢别人使用你的产品，你只需要了解你的客户，并禁用服务。”白宫没有立即回应CNBC的置评请求。
"I'd really prefer they didn't," he said. "I'd really prefer that nobody learns from our products, and we have the benefit of just cruising along. But, you know, frankly, competition makes everything better." "If you don't like that, if you don't like people to use your products, all you [have to do is] know your customers, and disable the service," Huang said. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC.
本月早些时候，美国网络安全和基础设施安全局指责中国AI公司进行“工业规模的知识蒸馏活动”，违反了美国公司的使用条款。
Earlier this month, the U.S.' Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, accused China's AI companies of conducting "industrial-scale knowledge distillation campaigns" that violated U.S. companies' terms of use.
Anthropic本月早些时候表示，发现开发Qwen系列模型的阿里巴巴和DeepSeek都参与了“非法蒸馏”。中国否认了这些说法。
Anthropic said earlier this month that it found Alibaba, which develops the Qwen family of models, and DeepSeek both engaging in "illicit distillation." China has rejected the claims.
