The Untapped Business Potential of Small Language Models
Most AI conversations today are obsessed with scale: larger models, larger clusters, larger budgets. But in the race toward trillion-parameter systems, the industry may be overlooking the most commercially disruptive opportunity in artificial intelligence: small, domain-specific models running directly on commodity hardware or edge devices. This talk challenges the assumption that AI value must live in the cloud.
