Overview of SLMs and LLMs

Small Language Models (SLMs) require less data for training compared to Large Language Models (LLMs). SLMs like Phi2 are smaller in size with fewer parameters, making them suitable for local deployment on the edge. They are ideal for fine-tuning and excel in tasks with a narrow domain. In contrast, LLMs like llama have larger data sets, substantial infrastructure requirements, and a wider context window better suited for more general tasks.
