Distilled Engineering
Eight field guides adapted from Distilled: The Engineering of Small, Fast, Cheap AI Models, from transfer signals and synthetic curricula to release pipelines and specialist fleets.
Source-backed engineering notes on distributed systems, messaging infrastructure, open-source internals, and model systems. Search by title, summary, or tag.
Long investigations publish as named series. The archive groups larger releases around their entry point instead of dropping you into the middle. Browse guided series.

Eight field guides adapted from Distilled: The Engineering of Small, Fast, Cheap AI Models, from transfer signals and synthetic curricula to release pipelines and specialist fleets.

A source-guided engineering study of Kimi K3 plus a lab track that turns its architecture, API, optimizer, routing, and memory ideas into reproducible experiments.
