SmolLM: The Rise of Smol Models

Loubna Ben Allal | Friday, April 25, 2025 | Gurten Pavillon

Description

On-device language models are revolutionizing AI by making advanced models accessible in resource-constrained environments. In this talk, we will explore the rise of small models and how they are reshaping the AI landscape, moving beyond the era of scaling to ever-larger models. We will also cover SmolLM, a series of compact yet powerful LLMs, focusing on data curation, and ways to leverage these models for on-device applications.
