You’re allowed to test somebody else’s products: Huang on White House’s ‘theft’ claim

The White House has called AI model distillation theft, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang views it as competition. Distillation has become a key US-China AI rivalry issue, with US officials accusing Chinese firms of using it. "You're allowed to test somebody else's products," Huang said, adding that Nvidia products are sometimes stripped "down to the bones" to understand them.
