#Trillium

The interview reframes the compute gap as the main constraint on Chinese labs rather than talent, and treats distillation as a months-long edge instead of an existential leak. Builders evaluating open-weight strategies get a concrete map of the RL-environment market and the reward-hacking pitfalls in purchased environments. Trillium's plan to give away environments for free directly undercuts paid vendors like those selling proprietary RL tooling.
