Model Distillation in the API

OpenAI launched an API distillation workflow on October 1, 2024, letting developers use outputs from GPT-4o and o1-preview to fine-tune cheaper models such as GPT-4o mini. The suite includes Stored Completions, Evals in beta, and fine-tuning; setting store:true auto-saves input-output pairs with no added latency, per the post. Pricing includes 2M free GPT-4o mini training tokens per day and 1M for GPT-4o through October 31; Evals are free up to 7 runs per week through year-end if shared with OpenAI.
