The past few years have been a blast for artificial intelligence, with large language models (LLMs) stunning everyone with their capabilities and powering everything from chatbots to code assistants. However, not all applications demand the massive size and complexity of LLMs, the computational power required makes them impractical for many use cases. This is why Small Language Models (SLMs) entered the scene to make powerful AI models more accessible by shrinking in size.
In this article we went through what SLMs are, how they are made small, their benefits and limitations, real-world use cases, and how they can be used on mobile and desktop devices. https://huggingface.co/blog/jjokah/small-language-model
We've noticed a huge interest in test-time scaling (TTS), so we decided to explore this concept further. Test-time compute (TTC) refers to the amount of computational power used by an AI model when generating a response. Many researchers are now focused on scaling TTC, as it enables slow, deep "thinking" and step-by-step reasoning, which improves overall models' performance.
