Documentation
//! Automated Model Distillation — Pareto-guided compression pipeline.
//!
//! Allows users to automatically distill large, slow models into smaller,
//! faster equivalents directly within the database. The distillation
//! process shifts the Pareto frontier by optimizing the latency × accuracy
//! trade-off, making previously impractical models production-viable.
//!
//! ## Workflow
//! 1. Identify a "teacher" model (large, accurate, slow).
//! 2. Run inference on a representative sample → generate soft labels.
//! 3. Train a compact "student" model on the soft labels (knowledge distillation).
//! 4. Evaluate the student on the same sample; compare Pareto position.
//! 5. Register the student in the model registry if it improves the frontier.
//!
//! ## SQL Interface
//! ```sql
//! SELECT distill_model('fraud_detector', target_latency_ms => 5.0) AS student_id;
//! ```
