AWS is enabling developers to build more cost-effective AI agents using knowledge distillation on Amazon SageMaker AI. This technique allows smaller "student" models to replicate the performance of larger, more expensive "teacher" models by learning from their outputs. The process, specifically sequence-level knowledge distillation (SeqKD), trains the student model on multi-step reasoning trajectories generated by a frontier teacher model, making agentic applications more efficient and scalable for production.
