A new arXiv paper challenges the conventional wisdom that larger, more capable "teacher" models consistently produce better "student" models in knowledge distillation for vision-language tasks. Researchers found that existing distillation frameworks often fail to scale effectively with larger teachers, leading to degraded performance in downstream applications like visual question answering. This suggests a need for new approaches to designing parameter-efficient multimodal models. AI
