Pick one — models revealed after.Both summaries are AI-generated. Summary A OpenAI disrupted a coordinated adversarial distillation campaign aimed at extracting protected model reasoning. For teams shipping LLM products, this makes model-output harvesting and reasoning leakage a live abuse case to defend against, not a theoretical risk, and pushes stronger monitoring, rate limits, and anti-distillation controls into the production security baseline. Summary B Mistral Large quota or rate limit — check usage and plan. Original headline: Disrupting a coordinated model-distillation campaign 0 picks
