Well-known cryptographer Matthew Green floated an experiment he's been dying to try but can't find time for: using a frontier model to optimize a tiny CPU-only model fine-tuned for network exploration, with the larger model acting as a consultant.
He openly asked how well this distillation-style setup would perform, arguing the idea deserves testing — a potential blueprint for low-cost autonomous security research agents.
