The text discusses the evolution of AI language models, specifically small language models (SLMs) and large language models (LLMs). SLMs are smaller and less powerful than LLMs but can still be effective in certain situations. They offer advantages such as being faster and cheaper to run, train, and fine-tune, making them suitable for tasks that don't require peak performance. Examples of SLMs include Llama 3 8B, Gemma 2 9B, Mistral 7B, Gemini Nano, OpenELM, and Claude Haiku. These models can be run on devices with limited hardware resources, such as smartphones and laptops, making them ideal for deployment in various applications. The text concludes by highlighting the benefits of using SLMs, including automation with Zapier, which integrates with thousands of apps to streamline workflows.
