Microsoft launches its smallest AI model yet: Phi-3 Mini

Microsoft has launched its smallest AI model yet, Phi-3 Mini, the first of a trio of lightweight models.

Their smaller size means they perform well on personal devices like phones and laptops, making them easier to adapt and launch into the mass market. It’s not the only company to be targeting this area, with Google’s Gemma 2B and 7B centered around language and chatbots, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku designed to read and summarize lengthy research papers (similar to Microsoft’s CoPilot), and Meta’s Llama 3 8B ready to assist with coding. As well as writing, she also has experience in editing as the UK Editor of The Mary Sue , as well as speaking on the important of SEO in journalism at the Student Press Association National Conference.
