Knowledge distillation (KD) is a technique that allows smaller, more efficient AI models to learn from larger, more capable "teacher" models. Instead of training from scratch on basic labels, a "student" model is trained to replicate the behavior and outputs of the teacher. This process enables the student model to achieve high performance while requiring less computational resources, making it suitable for deployment on devices with limited memory or processing power. KD is particularly useful for transferring advanced capabilities from large proprietary models to smaller open-source alternatives, and can also aid in understanding complex models by transferring their learned representations to simpler ones.
