In this episode of Quantum Drift, Robert and Haley dig into the fascinating world of Small Language Models (SLMs), a new AI alternative that’s gaining ground alongside the giant Large Language Models (LLMs) we know and love. From local, on-device processing to faster responses and enhanced privacy, SLMs could be the solution for those looking to keep AI close at hand—no Internet required.

Together, we’ll explore:

SLMs vs. LLMs: How they differ in size, performance, and use cases.
On-Device Advantages: What makes SLMs great for smartphones and other personal devices.
Future Applications: The potential of SLMs for fields like mental health, education, and personalized productivity tools.

Join Robert and Haley as they weigh in on the pros and cons of both models, and why the future of AI may be all about balancing big and small for a more versatile tech landscape.
