Generative AI & LLMs

Small Language Model

SLM

A compact, efficient model that runs faster and cheaper than a frontier model, sometimes even on a phone.

Why it matters for your business

For high-volume, simple tasks — tagging, routing, short replies — an SLM can cut your AI bill dramatically.

In practice

A retailer uses a small model to auto-categorize thousands of product reviews overnight for pennies.
