AI models face "distillation" trend globally, with US, China, and Europe involved

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

AI models are being "distilled," a process where a smaller, more efficient model is trained using the outputs of a larger, more capable one. This technique is being employed by labs in the US and China, with US labs accusing Chinese counterparts of distilling their models. Additionally, Europe's new "sovereign model" initiative is reportedly fine-tuned on data generated by models like GLM and Qwen, highlighting a global trend in model development and data sourcing. AI

IMPACT This trend suggests a growing focus on model efficiency and the potential for widespread adoption of distilled models across different regions.
