User seeks advice on distilled LLM for document extraction

A Reddit user is seeking advice on a document extraction process that uses a distilled LLM approach. They have trained two 287M encoder models, one for entity recognition (GLiNER) and another for classification, to process court decisions. The user detailed their two-step process: first, using a powerful LLM like Claude Sonnet to label a subset of documents and extract entities, actions, and values, and second, fine-tuning smaller models on this labeled data. They are encountering issues matching the performance of the original LLM and are asking for feedback on their methodology. AI

    I Distilled an LLM into two 287M encoders (GLiNER + multiple choice) for document extraction, can't match teacher. did i do something wrong?
