Small models as paralegals: LexisNexis distills models to build AI assistant


LexisNexis fine-tuned Mistral models to build its Protege AI assistant, relying on distilled and small models for its AI platform.

When legal research company LexisNexis created its AI assistant Protégé, it wanted to figure out the best way to leverage its expertise without deploying a large model. Protégé aims to help lawyers, associates and paralegals write and proof legal documents and ensure that anything they cite in complaints and briefs is accurate. LexisNexis backs all of its AI platforms with its own knowledge graph to perform retrieval augmented generation (RAG) capabilities, especially as Protégé could help launch agentic processes later.
