Petite is grand: Meta invests in AI patterns for portable gadgets

Nonetheless, Meta specialists are confident that efficient Compact Language Models with fewer than a billion parameters can be formulated, which could trigger the adoption of creative AI across scenarios involving portable devices, which possess comparably limited computational infrastructure compared to a server or a rack.

As per the publication, the specialists conducted tests with models designed differently, with 125 million and 350 million parameters, and discovered that reduced models focusing on depth rather than width elevate model effectiveness.

“Opposing the common notion highlighting the crucial role of data and parameter quantity in determining model excellence, our research underscores the importance of model structure for sub-billion scale Lightweight Language Models,” the specialists articulated.
