Your Company Needs Small Language Models

Image generated by Stable DiffusionWhen specialized models outperform general-purpose models“Bigger is always better”—this principle is deeply rooted in the AI world. Every month, larger models are created, with more and more parameters. Companies are even building $10 billion AI data centers for them. But is it the only direction togo?At NeurIPS 2024, Ilya Sutskever, one of OpenAI’s co-founders, shared an idea: “...

Evaluation-Driven Development for agentic applications using PydanticAI

An open-source, model-agnostic agentic framework that supports dependency injectionIdeally, you can evaluate agentic applications even as you are developing them, instead of evaluation being an afterthought. For this to work, though, you need to be able to mock both internal and external dependencies of the agent you are developing. I am extremely excited by PydanticAI because it supports dependency injection from the...
