What is recorded here?
Derived progressively smaller dense models by pruning and continued logit distillation through an intermediate teacher cascade, then post-trained visual instruction and reasoning variants.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
Inherits pruning, knowledge distillation, GRPO and online DPO. Savings relative to child training from scratch exclude inherited parent-training cost. One family, not nine inventions. December2025 model release and January2026 method report are distinct dates.
