DeepSeek didn't invent distillation, but it woke up the AI world to its disruptive potential. It also ushered in the rise of a new open-source order — a belief that transparency and ...

White House AI czar David Sacks alleged Tuesday that DeepSeek had used OpenAI’s data outputs to train its latest models through a process called distillation.

Distillation, also known as model or knowledge distillation, is a process where knowledge is transferred from a large, complex AI ‘teacher’ model to a smaller and more efficient ‘student ...

While model distillation, the method of teaching smaller, efficient models (students) from larger, more complex ones (teachers), isn't new, DeepSeek’s implementation of it is groundbreaking.

A flurry of developments in late January 2025 has caused quite a buzz in the AI world. On January 20, DeepSeek released a new open-source AI model called R1 and an accompanying research paper.

OpenAI told the Financial Times that it found evidence linking DeepSeek to the use of distillation — a common technique developers use to train AI models by extracting data from larger, more ...

Visakhapatnam (AP) June 10, (ANI): Chief Manager at Visakh Refinery in Visakhapatnam YV Tarak, highlighted the engineering marvel of the refinery’s CDU4 and vacuum distillation columns. Standing ...

Knowledge distillation can create more intelligent, efficient student models that bring AI closer to real-time decision making and democratization and make advanced AI systems more practical, ...

Why ‘Distillation’ Has Become the Scariest Word for AI Companies DeepSeek’s success learning from bigger AI models raises questions about the billions being spent on the most advanced technology ...

Distillation is often used to train new systems. If a company takes data from proprietary technology, the practice may be legally problematic. But it is often allowed by open source technologies.
