FORGE Distillation

Distillation

Teacher-student model compression for 3-5x inference speedup while retaining accuracy.

Distillation compresses large teacher models into smaller, faster student models optimized for deployment. FORGE combines teacher-student distillation with quantization, pruning, and speculative decoding to achieve 3-5x inference speedups while maintaining accuracy above configurable thresholds.
