Small Language Models (SLMs)

Small Language Models (SLMs)

Specialized SLMs (<14B parameters) deliver higher accuracy and 30-50% compute cost savings over cloud-based LLMs.

Access Primary Source

Strategic Analysis: SLM Efficiency

Cost Advantage: 30-50% reduction in compute costs over 3 years. Sub-100ms latency enables real-time fraud detection.

Use Cases: AP Automation (40-50% effort reduction), Mortgage Origination, and Payment Fraud Detection.
