Today's guest is Guglielmo Iozzia, Director, ML/AI and Applied Mathematics at MSD. In the ever-evolving domain of artificial intelligence, small language models pose a revolutionary alternative to the expansive and resource-intensive large-scale models. In this enlightening podcast episode, Guglielmo shares insights from his new book, "Domain-Specific Small Language Models: Efficient AI for Local Deployment,” as we dive deep into the advantages and challenges of small language models.

Topics include:

0:00 Optimising Small Language Models for Real-World Edge Applications

3:39 When Small Models Outperform Large Ones

6:16 Fine-Tuning AI with Domain-Specific Data

7:23 Why AI Benchmarks Don't Tell the Full Story

9:02 Lessons Learned After Writing the Book

10:52 Contextual Intelligence in Agentic AI Systems
