OpenAI just published a report about a coordinated campaign to steal the hidden reasoning from its models. One day later, the most subscribed individual YouTuber on Earth posted a video showing OpenAI banned him for distillation. Twice. Here's the part most people don't get about why those bans happened so fast. When a reasoning model works through a problem, it writes a long internal chain of thought before giving you the answer. OpenAI hides that chain on purpose. The final answer is cheap to copy. The reasoning is where billions of dollars of training compute actually went, and if you collect enough of those traces, you can teach a small model to think like the big one. That's what DeepSeek was accused of back in 2025, and it's why every frontier lab now guards reasoning traces like…Read original on X
