- DeepSeek and Moonshot AI heavily relied on distillation from OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra to train models including Kimi K3.1 Pro and V4.1-Flash 1017, after Anthropic's crackdown.
- GPT-6 Astra is the most powerful model OpenAI has released, and it has met with strong demand since its release.
Why it matters: OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, already described as the company's most powerful release and in strong demand since launch, became the training input behind DeepSeek's Kimi K3.1 Pro and Moonshot's V4.1-Flash 1017. The competitive squeeze on one frontier lab's models rerouted demand to another lab's flagship, with two named products built on it.
