While tech giants have been racing to build ever-larger language models (LLMs), recent research suggests the performance gains from increasing model size may be plateauing. This has led to growing interest in small language models (SLMs) - compact, efficient models that can be tailored for specific applications. SLMs offer advantages like faster training, lower computational costs, enhanced privacy/security by running locally, and reduced propensity for hallucinations within their focused domain. Companies like Google are aggressively pursuing SLMs, which could democratize AI access by enabling cost-effective, targeted solutions across industries. As LLMs face scaling challenges, the rise of SLMs has transformative potential to drive continued AI innovation through faster development cycles and edge computing capabilities for real-time, personalized applications.
