Evolving Definition
The definition of a "small" language model is fluid, changing as LLMs grow.
Previously, models with under hundreds of millions of parameters were considered small, but this is evolving.
insights INSIGHT
Parameters Explained
Parameters are variables language models use for predictions.
They adapt based on training data and determine model complexity.
