蒸馏: 正确的模型，正确的规模 适合该任务。
转移 capability from large general models into smaller, specialised models that are faster, cheaper, and designed to run where the work happens. 蒸馏 is an engineering discipline, not magic.

Why 蒸馏
并非每项任务都需要最大的模型
大型模型s are powerful but expensive and slow for repetitive, narrow, or latency-sensitive work. 蒸馏 creates the smallest model that is still reliably good at one job.
更低 inference cost
Fewer 参数 and optimised paths mean significantly lower compute per request.
Faster responses
更低的延迟改善了用户体验，并支持实时或边缘用例。
Easier deployment
较小的模型更适合紧张的预算和私有环境。
Focused behaviour
专业化减少了离题输出，并简化了评估和安全护栏。
工艺
蒸馏工程流程
四个严谨的步骤将广泛的能力转化为聚焦、生产级的性能。
构建 Evaluation
创建 rigorous test sets and metrics before training. You cannot improve what you cannot 测量.
Distil 知识
Use teacher signals, synthetic data, preference 货币对, and targeted fine-tuning to transfer capability.
验证 & 部署
Run held-out tests, human review, and guardrails. 部署 only when the smaller model meets production thresholds.
Techniques
核心 distillation techniques
根据数据可用性、延迟目标和准确性要求，组合多种互补方法。
监督微调（SFT）
Train the student on high-quality input–output 货币对 generated or curated from the teacher or domain experts.
知识 蒸馏 Loss
不仅匹配最终答案，还匹配教师模型的中间表示或概率分布。
Preference Optimisation
使用排序或偏好数据（DPO、ORPO、RLHF 风格）使输出与预期行为保持一致。
架构 压缩
减少层数、宽度，或使用高效注意力机制和量化来缩小模型，同时保持准确性。
Synthetic 数据 + Filtering
大规模生成多样化的任务特定示例，然后用强校验器和人工审查进行筛选。
No single technique is sufficient. 生产 distillation combines several 层 with continuous evaluation.
效率 & 影响
旨在降低资源强度
Smaller models for the right tasks use less energy, fewer 令牌, and cheaper infrastructure than routing every request to the largest available model.
能源 & Emissions
Fewer 激活 参数 and lower utilisation translate to lower energy draw per inference. Designed to reduce operational electricity demand 适用于合适的工作负载.
成本效益
更低 per-token and per-request costs make advanced capability accessible without constant large-model spend. 储蓄 compound across high-volume tasks.
本地 Capability
较小的模型更容易在私有或区域基础设施上运行，从而改善数据主权并减少对遥远云 GPU 的依赖。
