vp0000/English-to-Occitan-NMT-using-Distillation ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a small proof of concept for translating English to Occitan using model distillation.

I want a notebook I can run from start to finish that shows the full flow, from loading the data to fine tuning a larger teacher model, then using that teacher to distill into a smaller student model, and finally comparing both models on a held out test set. Please make it easy to follow, with clear explanations in the notebook so someone can understand what each step is doing.

Use the English to Occitan direction, and make the evaluation simple and practical, with a few useful metrics and example translations so I can see how good the results are. If you need to look up current docs or model details online, go ahead. Keep it reproducible and organized so it would be easy to turn into a more modular Python project later.
