Small language models: Rethinking enterprise AI architecture

Three key advantages of SLMs Division of labor: Modern AI architecture uses routers to send routine tasks to 7B-parameter SLMs, reserving trillion-parameter LLMs only for complex reasoning. Economic efficiency: For high-volume, repetitive tasks, SLMs can reduce cloud inference costs by up to 90% while providing near-instant latency. Privacy at the edge: Because SLMs can run…
