We believe the artificial intelligence center of gravity for enterprise value creation is shifting from large language models to small language models, where the S not only stands for small but encompasses a system of small, specialized, secure and sovereign models.
Moreover, we see LLMs and SLMs evolving to become agentic, hence SAM – small action models. In our view, it’s the collection of these “S-models,” combined with an emerging data harmonization layer, that will enable systems of agents to work in concert and create high-impact business outcomes. These multi-agent systems will completely reshape the software industry generally and, more specifically, unleash a new productivity paradigm for organizations globally.
In this Breaking Analysis, we’ll update you on the state of generative AI and LLMs with some spending data from our partner Enterprise Technology Research. We’ll also revisit our premise that the long tail of SLMs will emerge with a new, …
