Small Models

Stop Chasing Giant AI Models. The Real Winners Are Already Here.

The AI industry is obsessed with frontier models, but small models are already good enough for most tasks. This reframes the battleground: from model scale to product integration. If inference becomes commoditized, the winners will be those who embed AI seamlessly into experiences—not the model owners. Stop chasing benchmarks and start building with today’s small models.

Google’s New Service Destroys the Line Between Fine-Tuning and Distillation — And That’s a Good Thing

📅 July 28, 2026 📂 Tech Industry

Google’s Gemini Distillation Service blurs the line between fine-tuning and distillation, turning its frontier models into teachers for specialized, cheaper models you own. This isn’t just a technical update—it’s a strategic shift that makes the old debate irrelevant. Enterprises that act now will build domain-specific AI models faster than competitors still clinging to general-purpose APIs.
