About SmallCon
The small model revolution has begun! Burnt out by bloated, expensive general-purpose LLMs, GenAI teams are rapidly adopting small language models (SLMs) for their efficiency, scalability, and ability to deliver powerful results at a fraction of the cost. So what does it take to build big with small models?
Join us for SmallCon—the first GenAI conference focused on the massive potential of small models. AI leaders from Meta, Harvey AI, Mistral, Salesforce, and more will share their insights, best practices and real world experiences putting SLMs into production. We’ll explore cutting edge trends and practical tips for unlocking value at every stage of the GenAI workflow, from data through deployment.
