Building a Low-Cost Agent with SeqKD Distillation on SageMaker
Understand the story
On 2026-11-03, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published a tutorial demonstrating how to build a low-cost agent on Amazon SageMaker AI using sequence-level knowledge distillation (SeqKD). Using a shopping agent as an example, the tutorial distills the capabilities of GLM-5.3, a frontier model serving as the teacher model, into the student model Qwen3.5-4B. There is currently only one report on this event, with no follow-up developments disclosed.
