A Reddit post highlights Session-Adaptive Orthogonal Distillation (SAOD), claiming it can compress a 744B model from 1.5 TB down to under 100 GB.
The attached image shows a reproduction-style writeup with plots comparing GRPO, RLSD, and related training behavior. It reports that entropy collapses under GRPO while RLSD stays stable, that the credit-clip ratio lands in the paper’s 3%–6% range, that leakage stays at zero across runs, and that a decay schedule choice meaningfully affects performance. The poster suggests the method could make very large MoE models much more feasible on modest VRAM.
