Summary
HKT-SmartAudit is a framework that creates smaller, faster AI models specifically trained to find bugs in smart contracts (self-executing code on blockchain networks). The framework uses knowledge distillation (a technique where a large, accurate AI model teaches a smaller model by sharing what it has learned), allowing these lightweight models to detect vulnerabilities effectively while using far less computing power than larger models.
