Distillation from a larger teacher model significantly improves small model performance (e.g., 60.3→67.7 average on 3 benchmarks for 2B). The 27B model is competitive with LLaMA-3 70B despite being 2.5× smaller. Extensive safety evaluations show low memorization rates and limited dangerous capabilities.",
