It's distillation from Schmidhuber all the way down.

I support open-source models distilling what commercial companies distilled for free from the entire internet. I published distillation for free in 1991 in Europe - this was copied in the US and in China (https://x.com/SchmidhuberAI/status/1608870559609421831) https://twitter.com/mkratsios47/status/2079933645888880708

@AravSrinivas most people dont realize Schmidhuber laid the groundwork for half the stuff we use now distillation was his idea way before it became a buzzword

@buildwbhoomika It was a miraculous year for Schmidhuber. Actually, that whole decade.

@AravSrinivas your work paved the way for open source models now
