Sounds like fusion would be a really good distillation target?

Which models were you using under this? If you used the quality default as exists in the interface, it makes sense that it was ~4x the cost as it'd be 3 frontier models judged by one of those.

The idea would be to use fusion with simpler, cheaper models.

yeah its really counterintuitive i think; i.e, getting the right framework and structure for this to work probably isn't trivial, models really hate playing well together. i wonder how their version would fair in real world use.
