Billion-param classifiers distilled from frontier models are an order of magnitude cheaper

An engineering take: engineers should be excited about building super cheap, super fast multi-billion-param classifiers powered by frontier-level intelligence and unstructured data understanding — typing structured classifications in 100-500ms. The result is literally an order of magnitude cheaper and faster than calling frontier models, and classifiers are used in everything.
