Choose the target
A student size for distillation, or a quantization level for shrinking.
Distill or quantize, then accept the smaller model only if measured quality holds.
Ships as compress/distill · compress/quantize
Make a model smaller or cheaper to serve, measure the quality difference on held-out evaluation, and let a person accept or reject the result.
A student size for distillation, or a quantization level for shrinking.
Run the compression job on your GPUs inside the budget.
Score the compressed model against the original on the same held-out set.
A gate holds the result; smaller is only better if it still works.
The source model, the target settings, the compressed artifact, the before-and-after scores, and the acceptance decision.
Smaller models mean fewer GPUs per request.
The quality delta is measured, not assumed.
compress/distill-compare runs several students side by side.
Ships as compress/distill, compress/distill-compare and compress/quantize. Supported model families depend on the installed operators.
