Latest News- Small Language Model (SLM) Market: Solutions is expected to lead the Component segment during 2025-2029

The Small Language Model (SLM) Market is being driven by Rising demand for edge AI and on-device intelligence

The Small Language Model (SLM) Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 36.1% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 24680.2 million. The small language model (SLM) market is experiencing a significant shift towards open-source development, with community-driven innovation becoming increasingly influential. In contrast to the proprietary nature of large language models (LLMs) controlled by tech giants, SLMs are being developed and disseminated via open platforms such as Hugging Face, GitHub, and EleutherAI. This democratization of model access is fostering collaboration, customization, and innovation among researchers, startups, and enterprises, free from the limitations of closed ecosystems. Notable open-source SLMs, such as Mistral, Phi-2, Gemma, and LLaMA, are gaining popularity due to their lightweight architecture, fine-tuning versatility, and transparent licensing.
