Researchers unveiled a method for improving code generation via "embarrassingly simple self-distillation," pushing model performance higher without massive retraining costs. This technique, detailed in a new paper, suggests efficiency gains in training large language models are achievable through straightforward distillation processes. Elsewhere in the commercial sector, Tesla inventory reached a record 50,000 unsold EVs, raising questions about demand elasticity for high-priced consumer hardware relative to software services.
