Making Knowledge Distillation Cheap Enough to Run at Scale
Knowledge distillation just got cheap enough to run at scale. Here's how that changes model training economics.
Why it matters
Making distillation affordable and practical at scale lowers the cost barrier for building smaller, deployable models from frontier models — a core efficiency lever for practitioners building with current-generation AI.
