AI on your smartphone? Hugging Face’s SmolLM2 brings powerful models to the palm of your hand
Hugging Face launches SmolLM2, a new family of compact AI language models that deliver impressive performance on mobile and edge devices, outperforming larger models like Meta’s LLaMA in key benchmarks.
Hugging Face today has released SmolLM2, a new family of compact language models that achieve impressive performance while requiring far fewer computational resources than their larger counterparts. Running these models requires expensive cloud computing services, which come with their own problems: slow response times, data privacy risks and high costs that small companies and independent developers simply can’t afford. These results challenge the conventional wisdom that bigger models are always better, suggesting that careful architecture design and training data curation may be more important than raw parameter count.
