Recently, major AI companies have introduced new small models: Microsoft’s Phi-4-mini and Phi-4-multimodal, Alibaba’s QwQ-32B, and Google’s Gemma 3. Benchmark tests show these smaller models offer performance nearly equivalent to their larger counterparts, such as o1-mini, and are multi-modal. With portable devices becoming more AI-capable, it’s likely we will see more localized AI applications soon,…
