Teaser: Distillation is About Data, Not Logits
willdepue · x · 2026-07-19
A teaser for an in-depth article exploring "what is model distillation" to be released next week. The author clarifies a previous point: the core of distillation actually lies in data (e.g., unlimited pre-generated HTML websites), not logits. Even when using logits, the performance improvement is negligible in low-entropy situations. There is currently a significant public misunderstanding of the mechanism linking "data and performance."
