“When we are again talking about things like agents and reasoning and whatnot, I think a lot of the things are probably done on a small scale in the RL literature, in games and whatnot, and a lot of those ideas would be relevant again now.”

Agarwal: Filtered 9B Synthetic Data Outperforms 27B Self-Generated Data
“One thing we found consistently, so here what we had two models, nine Gemma, nine B and Gemma, 27 B, and we found consistently that actually generating data from nine B in a compute match setting is always better, even better for distilling or actually improvi…”
Agarwal: Logit Distillation Can Match Giant Teacher Models on Reasoning
“My hunch is that the logic-based distillation can go even further, and you might be able to even close the gap with the biggest of the teachers you have, because I don't think you need a huge number of parameters, because the reasoning process is very, very, l…”
Agarwal: Distillation Drives Year-Over-Year AI Capability Cost Reductions
“The capability which we have right now, maybe next year will be much cheaper to have that same thing. And that likely is the result of distillation, right? Like that's, it's not just because we are doing or figured out something magical. It is because distilla…”
Agarwal: Distilling a Large Model Outperforms Direct Training on the Same Data
“This is something that people have found again and again, that basically you can train a model on some data, or you can train a bigger model on that data and distill that model to another model, and that distill model is better.”
Agarwal: Standard distillation KL loss places mass where teacher has none
“The typically what we use is this mode covering KL, the one on the left. That is the standard distillation loss that everyone uses. But you can see the behavior. And you can already see what's weird about it. It's putting a lot of mass on places where there's …”
Agarwal: Distillation KL direction dictates trade-off between diversity and performance
“There's a trade-off between diversity and performance. So on the y-axis, I'm showing performance. On the x-axis, I'm showing similarity or basically how, like one minus diversity. So more similar things are less diverse. And you can see, depending on the diver…”
