Artificial Intelligence & Next-Gen LLMs
Small Language Models at the Edge
Small language models bring AI to phones, browsers, and embedded devices without a network round trip. They trade raw capability for latency, privacy, and offline access. For classification, extraction, and short generation, a well-tuned small model often beats a distant giant.
Punti chiave
- Match model size to device memory and battery budget.
- Quantize aggressively and benchmark accuracy loss.
- Use ONNX, Core ML, or llama.cpp for portable inference.
- Cache and reuse prompts to cut repeated compute.
- Fall back to cloud models for hard or rare cases.
- Measure real device latency, not just desktop numbers.
- Keep updates small and incremental over the air.
- Protect model weights if licensing requires it.
Domande frequenti
Are small models good enough?
For focused tasks yes; for open-ended reasoning, larger models still win.
How do I handle hallucinations on device?
Constrain outputs with schemas and validate before acting.
What about privacy?
On-device inference keeps data local, a major selling point.
Can I fine-tune a small model cheaply?
Yes, small models train fast on modest hardware.
