Have you seen what annotations cost? It can be on the order of $50/annotation for a reasonable document, some agentic annotations can cost over $1000 each, whereas a model response might cost $0.10, or maybe $20 for an agentic session. Plus all of that takes a ton of effort to collect.
You can set up model distillation as a weekend batch job.
