近期 AI 業界出現將「知識蒸餾(Distillation)」稱為「蒸餾攻擊(Distillation attacks)」的趨勢。 這反映了閉源模型廠商(如 OpenAI、Anthropic)面對開源模型透過合成數據快速追趕時的焦慮。 作者 Nathan Lambert 指出,將這種行之有年的機器學習技術與商業競爭行為「安全化(securitize)」,試圖將其塑造成惡意網路攻擊,是非常糟糕且誤導的術語,旨在為法律訴訟或技術封鎖鋪路。

In the field of machine learning, "knowledge distillation" is a well-established technique that generally refers to using the output data generated by a larger, more powerful model (the teacher model, such as GPT-4) to train a smaller, more efficient model (the student model, such as various open-source fine-tuned models). However, as the open-source community and competitors have rapidly closed the technical and performance gap by distilling from closed-source flagship models, closed-source AI giants have begun to feel the pressure.
