Definition
SLMs are language models that are smaller in size and computational requirements compared to LLMs. They are often fine-tuned for specific tasks and can be more efficient to run, especially on local hardware.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
SLMs, like Phi, offer a more resource-efficient way to integrate language processing capabilities into applications, particularly when local hosting is desired.
Key properties or components
- Smaller size
- Lower computational requirements
- Task-specific fine-tuning
- Efficient local deployment
