As AI developers, we are constantly exploring better ways to build intelligent systems that cater to real-world needs. A significant transition is taking place in Generative AI from large-scale, closed-source models to smaller, open-source alternatives. In this keynote, we will not only delve into the benefits of small open-source language models but also provide practical insights on how to utilize them for domain adaptation, cost-efficiency, and improved privacy.
Firstly, small open-source language models can be easily customized to specific domains with minimal effort and resources, unlocking their full potential for real-world applications. By utilizing community-driven models, datasets, and libraries, developers can tailor their models to address unique business or organizational needs. Secondly, open-source language models provide significant cost savings without compromising performance. Unlike closed models and their rigid, one-size-fits-all approach, open-source models offer flexibility. They allow you to select the best small model for the task at hand, adapt it, and deploy it on cost-effective hardware, making AI development more adaptable and agile. Lastly, by keeping model adaptation in-house, organizations can ensure complete control over their intellectual property and sensitive data. This approach contrasts with using closed models, which may require sending sensitive company and user data to 3rd party APIs, potentially weakening the security and compliance posture.
