Model Gallery provides a model distillation entry point. From a model card, create a general-purpose distillation task to transfer knowledge from a large teacher model to a smaller student model and reduce inference costs.
Overview
Model Gallery's distillation feature is built on the open-source PAI-EasyDistill framework. It uses black-box distillation to complete the full pipeline — from data generation to student model training — without coding.
Model Gallery supports only general distillation tasks. For scenario-specific templates (chain-of-thought reasoning, multimodal, Agent tool calling, and more), go to Model Distillation (ModelDistill).
You can view and manage distillation tasks created from Model Gallery in either of the following locations:
Model Gallery > Job Management > Distillation task
Model Distillation (ModelDistill) > Task List
Tasks created from the Model Distillation (ModelDistill) page appear only in the distillation task list, not in Model Gallery's task management.
Create a distillation task
Log on to the PAI console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose QuickStart > Model Gallery.
On the Model Gallery page, select Distill from the Supported Operations filter. All teacher models that support distillation are displayed.
Click the target model card to go to the model details page. In the upper-right corner, click Distill to go to the task creation page.
For the complete procedure and parameter descriptions, see General distillation.
