Using SLMs for specific text processing tasks provides three main benefits compared to using LLMs:
- Lower costs: SLMs are much cheaper to run compared to LLMs, making them a cost-effective solution for applications with high inference volumes.
- Improved performance: SLMs are often more accurate and efficient for specific tasks compared to LLMs, which are designed to be general-purpose.
- Lower Latency: SLMs are typically faster to respond compared to LLMs, resulting in lower latency for applications.
This API is meant to provide developers with a simple, efficient and cost-effective way to integrate SLMs into their applications, without the need to self-host them.
All models used in this API were trained by us at Tanaos, are open-source and accessible from the Tanaos Hugging Face page.
