S1 Distillation
Specialized Model Fine-Tuning and Distillation Solution – An All-in-One Toolkit Designed for Industry Leaders
Developed by APMIC’s elite AI model team, this solution supports enterprise AI teams in building specialized models and applying distillation techniques. Built on the NVIDIA NeMo™ framework, S1 enables teams to quickly master key technologies with minimal resources, delivering specialized models with high accuracy, efficient inference, and low total cost of ownership (TCO).
Lightweight, High-Performance Distilled Models
The S1 toolkit supports the distillation of base models into lightweight, high-performance versions, optimized for real-world business scenarios to maximize commercial value. Its architecture is compatible with enterprise-grade GPU environments (e.g., NVIDIA H100, H200, B200) and includes pre-optimized training techniques from APMIC to accelerate the model development process.
F/DaaS Toolkit & Custom ODM Model Services
S1 supports containerized deployment, making it suitable for on-premises servers or private cloud infrastructure. Enterprises can choose from the following options:
F/DaaS
F/DaaS Licensing of APMIC’s S1 Toolkit:
S1 encapsulates and simplifies the complex fine-tuning and distillation workflow, significantly accelerating the development of specialized models - no deep expertise in NVIDIA NeMo™ is required.
ODM
ODM Custom Model Development:
APMIC offers project-based ODM services to build enterprise-specific AI brains.
Streamlined Training Pipeline
S1 integrates the core processes required for effective model building, including continual pre-training, instruction tuning, distillation, and reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF). It empowers AI teams to rapidly deliver efficient, cost-effective, and deployable models.
The training pipeline follows a Teacher-Student architecture, with key steps including:
Teacher Model Selection
High-potential models from the open-source community are selected as a foundation, with tailored optimization strategies aligned to enterprise-specific scenarios.
Enterprise Brain Development
Through continual pre-training and fine-tuning, internal enterprise knowledge and data are integrated to enhance the model’s contextual understanding and task adaptability - resulting in a proprietary, domain-specific model asset.
Distillation and Model Compression
Using distillation techniques, the “enterprise brain” is transformed into a lightweight, specialized model. This reduces parameter size while maintaining accuracy, significantly lowering inference hardware costs and improving deployment flexibility across platforms.
