Meta, Google leverage large models for AI distillation

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 1 source

Large language model distillation is emerging as a crucial method for developing powerful AI systems more affordably. Companies like Meta and Google are employing this technique, with Meta using its Llama 4 model to train smaller versions and Google utilizing Gemini to inform its Gemma models. Common distillation strategies involve mimicking output probabilities, replicating model outputs, and joint training approaches. AI
