Elon Musk testified in a California federal courtroom that his AI startup xAI used OpenAI's models to improve its own through model distillation, a common industry practice where larger AI models train smaller ones. Musk characterized the practice as standard across AI companies, though model distillation remains controversial as competitors sometimes use it to replicate rival models' capabilities more quickly and cheaply.
