Arcee AI has announced the release of DistillKit, an innovative open-source tool designed to revolutionize the creation of efficient, high-performance Small Language Models (SLMs). DistillKit v0.1 allows users to utilize internal representations or logits from a teacher model to augment the learning process. This release follows Arcee AI's previous success with Model Merging and the open-source repository MergeKit. DistillKit aims to make model distillation more accessible and efficient for developers, leveraging the growing availability of large and efficient open models. Notably, a 2B model distilled on only 2T tokens has been reported to outperform GPT-3.5, highlighting the potential of this new tool. The tool is expected to significantly impact the future of Language Learning Models (LLMs).
