Small fine-tuned models as an alternative to giant generic ones
Giant generic models with a lot of parameters are very impressive. But they are also very costly and often come with latency and privacy challenges. Fortunately, smaller open-source models like Llama2 and Mistral have already demonstrated that, when finely tuned with appropriate data, they can yield comparable results at a fraction of the cost.
Moreover, as new hardware continues to be integrated into our phones and laptops, the prospect of running these models at the edge becomes increasingly feasible, unlocking a mul***ude of new use cases.
We are eager to support companies engaged in developing or fine-tuning such specialized models or creating tools to facilitate their construction.
