A new front has opened in the U.S.-China competition in artificial intelligence: open-weight, local AI models. Until recently, the most capable AI models were too big and too costly to run anywhere ...

OpenAI and Anthropic have been on the warpath lately against third-party efforts to train new AI models by prompting their publicly accessible chatbots and APIs, a process known as “distillation.” ...

Researchers have developed a lightweight fault-diagnosis framework for high-speed train bogies that is designed for edge ...

DeepSeek’s R1 release has generated heated discussions on the topic of model distillation and how companies may protect against unauthorized distillation. Model distillation has broad IP implications ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. There’s a new wrinkle in the saga of Chinese company DeepSeek’s recent announcement of a super-capable R1 model that combines high ...

The updates could help OpenAI compete better with rivals such as Anthropic, Google, and AWS which already offer similar capabilities. In what can only be seen as OpenAI’s efforts to catch up with ...

Nvidia Corp. today released a lightweight language model, Mistral-NeMo-Minitron 8B, that can outperform comparably sized neural networks across a range of tasks. The code for the model is available on ...

Model distillation is one of the technology trends that has reached a level of maturity identified in Gartner’s 2025 Hype Cycle for artificial intelligence (AI) as “the slope of enlightenment”.

According to analyst Gartner, small language models (SLMs) offer a potentially cost-effective alternative for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) development and deployment because they are ...
