Beyond LLMs: The Rise of Small, Efficient AI Models
Educator 2
Thursday 24 July, 15:00 - 15:45
AI has long been dominated by large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Claude, but a new wave of small, efficient AI models is transforming the field. These lightweight, high-performance models—such as Mistral, Llama 3, and Gemma—are revolutionizing edge computing, real-time AI applications, and privacy-conscious AI deployments.

In this session, we’ll explore:
✅ Why smaller AI models matter: Performance, efficiency, and cost benefits
✅ How they compare to traditional LLMs in accuracy and computational needs
✅ Real-world applications in mobile AI, IoT, and on-device intelligence
✅ Hands-on Demo: Deploying a lightweight AI model on an edge device (e.g., Raspberry Pi or mobile phone)

This talk is perfect for developers, AI enthusiasts, and data scientists looking to harness the power of small AI models for real-world applications. Join us to learn how these compact AI systems are reshaping the future of AI! 🚀
