More on Anthropic's Scion ripping off Mononoke

Anthropic's Scion model is causing controversy after it was discovered to have copied some of its behavior from the popular AI chatbot Mononoke. The similarities between the two models were first pointed out by a researcher who noticed that Scion was using a similar approach to generating text as Mononoke. This has led to accusations of plagiarism and ripping off Mononoke's work. The issue came to light after a researcher shared a comparison of the two models on the Hacker News platform. The researcher pointed out that Scion uses a similar technique to generate text, including the use of a combination of autoregressive and autoregressive recurrent neural networks (AR-ARNNs).

Anthropic has not commented on the allegations, but the incident has sparked a debate in the AI community about the ethics of using pre-existing work without proper attribution.
