What AI says about Distil-PII

Distil-PII is a family of small language models specialized for policy-aware PII redaction, tuned to produce a JSON with redacted_text and an entities list detailing redacted values and replacements. They run on-premise or on-device, offering low latency, cost efficiency, and strict adherence to a JSON schema and redaction policy to enable safe data handling of logs, tickets, transcripts, and support chats. The 1B model can be deployed on a laptop and achieves competitive performance versus frontier large LLMs, demonstrating strong on-device privacy and throughput for PII redaction.
