Microsoft Unveils Powerful Phi-2 AI Model, Outperforming Larger Language Models
French AI startup Mistral has released an open-source model called Mixtral 8x7B, which combines smaller models to efficiently handle specific tasks and match the quality of larger models like GPT-3.5. Microsoft researchers also unveiled their mobile-friendly model, Phi-2, with just 2.7 billion parameters compared to Mixtral's 7 billion. These developments highlight the growing trend of creating smaller language models that can run on less powerful devices while still generating accurate results.
