🧠 Bigger AI isn't always better.

Smaller models can deliver lower cost, faster responses & easier edge deployment.

The goal: use the smallest model that reliably solves the task.

Z80-μLM, a "Conversational AI" in just 40KB, sparked a lively HN discussion. It highlights the potential for localized AI, resource efficiency, and the future of small language models. A fascinating look at what's possible with minimal resources. #SmallAI 1/6

By me for @hacksterio.bsky.social, "Benchmarking TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite on Raspberry Pi 5." The big take away from these new benchmarks is that the new #RaspberryPi5 has similar performance when using TensorFlow Lite to the #CoralTPU. #TinyML #SmallAI

It’s sort of interesting to see the financial markets paying attention to #SmallAI. That means that anything that affects “big” AI is important enough to move the markets. Makes sense, if it’s going to affect the $NVDA stock price, it’ll affect the market. finimize.com/content/smal...
Small language models are becoming more popular
Tech giants have released small language models, which dodge the high costs and power demands of large ones like ChatGPT
