It’s no secret that large language models (LLMs) have gotten exorbitantly expensive.
Companies are starting to limit their employees’ AI usage to save money; OpenAI has even discussed lowering the cost of tokens to retain financially-anxious customers.
But you know what’s cheaper than a large language model? A small language model.
AI company ZeroGPU develops small language models (SLMs) that are trained on a smaller amount of data and designed to perform specialized tasks and use cases.
On Thursday, the company announced a group of specialized SLMs for ad tech, with the goal of helping tech companies handle high-volume workflows more quickly and at a lower cost.
