Training a smaller model to reproduce a larger model's output distribution, including its probabilities rather than labels alone.

Definition

AutoTrust's JEV students are distilled from Jev 1.13 on a 741,000-row corpus; JEV-27B reports mean KL of about 0.017 to the teacher's distributions and choice top-1 agreement of 90.5% on held-out rows. The students inherit the teacher's failure modes, counting, dates, and arithmetic included, because the target is the teacher and not the truth.

Soft targets carry more information than hard labels, which is why distillation corpora store full distribution arrays and why teacher self-agreement becomes the ceiling. On the typed-decisions benchmark that ceiling is about 0.735, so scores above it mean learning teacher quirks.

An open distillation of Jev 1.13 onto Qwen3.8-27B: a 108.9M-parameter decision block answers typed questions in one prefill pass and adds a POST /v1/decide route beside a full System 2.

The Hugging Face hub for Laya's open System 1 checkpoints: the 421M English model at the repo root, a 322M multilingual build in a subfolder, and the typed-decisions fine-tune, all Apache-2.0.

The 9B member of AutoTrust's Jev students: a 40.2M-parameter decision block on Qwen3.5-9B with 0.019 mean KL to Jev 1.13 and 70.7% HumanEval left untouched, small enough for one modest GPU.

AutoTrust's Gemma-based decision model with adaptive thinking: System 1 answers below 0.8 confidence hand off to the full Gemma 4 26B and mix the two by half, behind POST /v1/decide.
