Small Language Models for the Edge

Capable AI that runs directly on-device — no cloud required.

← Back to AI Lab

Overview

Not every problem needs a giant model. We build small, efficient language models that run directly on edge devices — phones, IoT gateways, and industrial controllers — with low latency, low power, and full privacy because data never leaves the device.

Objectives

  • On-device / offlineRuns without a network connection.
  • Low latencyInstant responses at the edge.
  • Low footprintSmall memory and power budget.
  • Private by designData stays local to the device.

Our Approach

  • DistillationCompress knowledge from larger teacher models.
  • QuantizationINT8 / INT4 for smaller, faster models.
  • Pruning & sparsityRemove redundant parameters without losing quality.
  • Hardware-aware designEfficient architectures tuned to target devices.
