Matryoshka Enables Free Student-Teacher Distillation During Pretraining
nthngdy · x · 2026-08-19
In Matryoshka suites, all submodels are trained in the same process, allowing for free student-teacher online distillation during pretraining. As a result, Matryoshka submodels are much better aligned with each other, benefiting from both nesting and distillation.
