Microsoft announced this Tuesday (23) a smaller and more economical artificial intelligence model that can perform tasks such as content creation and generating social media publications using smaller amounts of data.
The company said in a statement that the Phi-3-mini Small Language Model (SLM) can outperform models twice its size on a variety of metrics that measure language, coding and math capabilities.
Smaller AI models are designed to perform simpler tasks, making them easier to use for companies with limited resources, Microsoft said.
A company can use Phi-3 to summarize key points from a long document, extract relevant insights and industry trends in market research reports, Microsoft added.
The Phi-3-mini will be immediately available on the Microsoft Azure platform's AI model catalog, the Hugging Face platform and Ollama, the company said.
Last week, Microsoft announced that it has invested $1.5 billion in UAE-based AI company G42. The company also previously announced a partnership with French startup Mistral AI to make its models available through Azure.
