As the global GPU shortage persists, AI researchers and developers are increasingly turning to model distillation as a solution. A recent discussion on Reddit’s r/ArtificialIntelligence underscores the growing divide between well-funded labs with ample GPU access and those facing resource constraints. Model distillation, which involves creating smaller, more efficient AI models from larger ones, offers a viable path forward for those seeking to overcome computational limitations and continue pushing the boundaries of AI. The conversation highlights the technique’s importance in democratizing AI development and fostering innovation beyond well-resourced institutions.
