Google is apparently taking a different stance and offering distillation as a paid product

https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini-enterprise-agent-platfo...

You don't get to take distilled model home, it all stays with Google.

It's "optimize your costs in our garden" product.

  • yup, strings are certainly attached when dealing with US Big Tech / Ai

    I recommend Fireworks as an alternative

But nobody wants to distill Google's models, Gemini is really bad.

  • strong agreement, I've stopped using all closed weight models on principle, but the latest gemini models have increased hallucinations and now talk back, so double reason not to use them
