I'm surprised your comments aren't calling out in plain words what's happening:
replyChinese models train on US models.
US models are more advanced than Chinese models and don't.
This actually gives me hope for the future. A dictatorship that kills their own people on a scale unimaginable to westerners is 2nd place. Soon their demographic crisis will cripple them.
Bonus: bought 6 off brand light sabers. 2 didn't work. The other 4 didn't actually recharge via USB.
I really like DeepSeekv4 when I do legal grey areas. Claude and gpt will say no. But usually it's good enough to get the job done.
In our own benchmark we found that K3.1 pro UI designs are very similar to OpenAI's designs.
replyK3 for reference had 0.43 similarity to OpenAI's models, now it's as similar as how OpenAI's models are to each other at 0.58, much higher than other cross-lab similarities.
It likely identifies itself as ChatGPT because Moonshot AI used ChatGPT distillation. We know they previously also used Claude distillation.
replyAll models do this, they can't even answer what specific model they are
replyCould it be because Claude / ChatGPT are the most viral models and thus are more likely to be in the training set so when someone asks "Which AI are you?" the likeliness of Claude and ChatGPT being a reasonable answer is higher?

replyLong-horizon RL symptoms perhaps?
replyperhaps a simpler explanation; that kimi occasionally proxies through to ChatGPT. Possibly for A/B testing, or to gather data for training purposes.
replyChatGPT output is watermarked, but I guess the "invisible unicode" trick is easy to circumvent, and TextGrain is only activated for EU users.
replyOnly Gemini and Claude output is watermarked.
replyGPT reasoning content is encrypted if it was re-routed you would have nothing to see here but that won't stop idiotic American conspiracy theories to spread I see.
replyOdd behaviour that's unexplained creates conspiracy theories. That's a self created problem here.
