Affordable GenAI: The Power of Small Language Models

GenAI is becoming increasingly present in everyday organizational work, from drafting and summarizing reports to analyzing documents and translating content. Most public attention has focused on Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT from OpenAI or Claude from Anthropic. LLMs are powerful but typically require large computational resources and can be expensive to operate. In addition, providers of LLMs may not be fully transparent about how user data is processed, which can create risks when handling sensitive information.
