Is it possible to use current gen AI models to train next gen ones?


If possible this should be able to make it significantly cheaper and accessible to all.

Yes this is the point of Stanford Alpaca https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca

They used the larger and more expensive text-davinci-003 model to fine-tune the smaller and cheaper 7B LLaMA model.

In a way, they already are. Look at the architecture of GANs, which use a secondary model to judge the quality of response from the first one. It's not used for training, but it's a good and simple example of how models can be composed to build something more advanced.
