A model being a distilled version of another specific model is a different thing from using synthetic data off of another model.

Anthropic goes to insane lengths to block other labs from training off of their models' output, as it's been done over and over again in the past. But the models that have used synthetic data from Anthropic's models aren't distilled versions of whatever model(s) they got the distilled data off of.
