[R] Compiling Agentic Workflows into LLM Weights: Near-Frontier Quality at Two Orders of Magnitude Less Cost

I came across this paper that shows SLM supervised fine-tuning on traces from orchestration of frontier models can be nearly as performant and much cheaper. Has any tried this in the real world? submitted by /u/ThirdWaveCat [link] [comments]
