"We do use distillation in making our Flash models from our larger scale Pro model — that's partly why our Flash models in Gemini are so capable relative to their size and speed. Making cheaper, highly capable models from larger scale models was something we desperately wanted to do because we wanted to serve models to more and more people in many different domains like speech or vision."

"You just need the API to something like Gemini and then work on your own setup for your own retrieval, your own tool calls, etc. We do use it in making our Flash models from our larger scale Pro model — that's partly why our Flash models in Gemini are so capable relative to their size and speed."

"A really good way to do it is to use these models and harnesses and tools to try to solve problems, and sometimes you can actually see where the models are failing. You can make the model work better by not just adjusting the model parameters — which is hard from the outside — but by creating better guidelines for the model, writing skills for the model to know how to use different tools. As you do that, you end up on this kind of self-improving setup."
