  • 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 witnessing a significant shift towards open-source development, with community-driven innovation gaining prominence. Open platforms such as Hugging Face, GitHub, and EleutherAI are facilitating the creation and distribution of SLMs, contrasting the proprietary nature of large language models (LLMs) controlled by tech giants. This democratization of access to language models is fostering collaboration, customization, and innovation among researchers, startups, and enterprises. Notable open-source SLMs, including Mistral, Phi-2, Gemma, and LLaMA, are garnering attention due to their lightweight architecture, fine-tuning flexibility, and transparent licensing.
