Microsoft Unveils Phi-3-mini: AI Powerhouse Fits Your Phone
April 25, 2024
Microsoft unveils Phi-3-mini, a compact AI model with 3.8 billion parameters, designed to operate on smartphones.
The Phi-3-mini model surpasses existing academic reasoning benchmarks, indicating high performance.
Training involved filtered web and synthetic data, with post-training alignment for safety and limited knowledge storage to mitigate risk.
Despite advancements, the model faces challenges with maintaining factual accuracy and overcoming inherent biases.
Microsoft offers larger, more powerful AI models, such as the 7 billion parameter phi-3-small and the 14 billion parameter phi-3-medium, for diverse applications.
The release of these AI models is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to make AI accessible to a wide range of businesses.
