This method is promising in fields such as digital pathology, where many powerful foundation models were proposed recently. However, as we show in this paper, the standard multi-teacher distillation approach reacts poorly to an increase in the number of teachers used to train a student encoder. We demonstrate that learning teacher-specific representations is a key to scaling in MTD. Importantly, different design choices, such as learnable teacher tokens, a tailored attention scheme, additional mixture-of-experts layers and a contrastive loss, are proposed to better learn such teacher-specific representations. We show that our method better scales with respect to the number of considered teachers, allowing us to train compact student encoders, up to 10x more efficient than larger teacher foundation models, while matching their performance and even outperforming them on a large set of tile-level and slide-level tasks. We conduct a thorough empirical validation, evaluating more than 10 foundation models on 39 tasks spanning tile and slide levels. As a result, we release a new collection of strong and efficient foundation models, named OMNI, trained from the knowledge of 10 state-of-the-art foundation models. We finally conduct an analysis of the learned teacher-specific representations, highlighting their complementarity and explaining why they can be easily aggregated at downstream time.
