Nvidia’s Llama-3.1-Minitron 4B is a small language model that punches above its weight
As tech companies race to deliver on-device AI, we are seeing a growing body of research and techniques for creating small language models (SLMs) that can run on resource-constrained devices.
The latest models, created by a research team at Nvidia, leverage recent advances in pruning and distillation to create Llama-3.1-Minitron 4B, a compressed version of the Llama 3 model. This model rivals the performance of both larger models and equally sized SLMs while being significantly more efficient to train and deploy.
