Pocket-Sized AI Models Could Unlock a New Era of Computing
Research at Microsoft shows it’s possible to make AI models small enough to run on phones or laptops without major compromises to their smarts. The technique could open up new use cases for AI.
(Offline algorithms are a key piece of the Recall feature Microsoft announced that uses AI to make everything you ever did on your PC searchable.) Sébastien Bubeck, a researcher at Microsoft involved with the project, tells me the models were built to test whether being more selective about what an AI system is trained on could provide a way to fine-tune its abilities. The large language models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 or Google’s Gemini that power chatbots and other services are typically spoon-fed huge gobs of text siphoned from books, websites, and just about any other accessible source.
