From OTEL to SLMs: Distilling Frontier Model Behaviour from Production Telemetry
OpenTelemetry traces can convert production AI-agent feedback into training labels for local 7B-13B coding models. Fine-tuned within hours, they can reach roughly 80-85% of frontier-model quality while lowering inference costs, preserving privacy, and scaling across the enterprise.
