Solar 100B CEO addresses allegations that the company's large language model was cloned from competitors, defending the originality of their AI development
Someone dug into the drama around Solar 100B Open after claims it was just a finetuned version of GLM-Air-4.5.

YouTube’s auto-translate works for non-Korean speakers. The CTO also posted a detailed counterstrike on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7412403323175370753/
Pretty rare to see a company address model controversy this publicly. Most just ignore the claims or post a quick tweet. This was a full academic-style presentation to push back on the finetuning accusations.
