The survey classifies knowledge distillation by training-context origin and, for student-generated contexts, by whether the generating checkpoint is current or earlier. It separates context provenance from teacher supervision and applies the framework across generation, embeddings, retrieval, and agents. A reported Lightning OPD 8B setup uses 30 rather than 120 GPU-hours, but this does not test the taxonomy experimentally.
