Can these big companies that want to distill not just get the models? Like how many machines at how many different providers are running Opus 5? Nobody is just throwing the model on a thumb drive and taking it home, or grabbing an old drive that somebody was too lazy to scrub or whatever?
That would be vastly more illegal, but would it even matter? What would the practical downside be?
One imagines that they're trying. I work at not-a-frontier-lab and my company still ended up hiring someone who apparently wasn't aware that we track system access. He was turned over to the federal authorities after trying to exfiltrate a lot of user+system data to North Korean IPs.
