What 'distilling' an AI model actually means and why it matters to self-hosting open LLMs

I find it fascinating that we can spin up an entire AI model on something as meager as a laptop. I can have a coding model running on the same device I use for Google Chrome. Frontier models generally require massive data centers packed with accelerators, so the fact that a smaller version of the same technology can run locally and not completely suck is genuinely impressive.
