Description

The Distil CLI enables ML engineers and application developers to train small language models (SLMs) through knowledge distillation. By leveraging production traces and teacher-student model architectures, it streamlines the process of creating specialized models for classification, question answering, and tool-calling.

WHO IT'S FOR
ML Engineers
