AI Models Boost Performance Via Imitation Learning

MIT research indicates that scientific AI models with different architectures converge on similar internal representations when addressing the same problem. Through model distillation, smaller models can mimic the representation logic of high-performance base models, achieving comparable prediction accuracy at a lower cost. Future evaluations of scientific AI will increasingly focus on whether models enter a "truth convergence circle." Lightweight, low-cost AI will accelerate scientific innovation by enabling efficient knowledge transfer and deployment of effective solutions.
