📱 Small Language Models (SLMs) are gaining traction! 🧠
These compact AI models run efficiently on local devices while offering impressive capabilities:
- Enhanced privacy (your data stays on your device)
- Lower computational costs
- Minimal latency
- Works offline
Perfect for specific tasks where you don't need the full power of massive models.
Have you tried any SLMs yet?
Microsoft has expanded its Phi-4 AI lineup with Phi-4-mini and Phi-4-multimodal

#Innovation often comes from people who are resource constrained #AI #SmallLanguageModels https://github.blog/ai-and-ml/generative-ai/open-source-ai-is-already-finding-its-way-into-production/
Key Points:
➡️ SLMs with 1-8B parameters can perform as well or better than LLMs.
➡️ SLMs are task-agnostic or task-specific.
➡️ SLMs balance performance, efficiency, scalability, and cost.
➡️ SLMs are effective in resource-constrained environments.
➡️ SLMs can be trained on consumer-grade GPUs.
➡️ SLMs include models like #Llama2, #Mistral, #Phi, and #Gemini.

* machine learning models
* processing, understanding, generating natural language content
* SLM more compact/efficient than LLM: large language models
* few million to few billion parameters vs LLM: 100B's - trillions
* parameters: internal variables that a model learns during training
* influence how model behaves/performs
