Introduction
of SLMs. These models, despite their smaller size, offer many of the
capabilities found in larger language models and are trained on less
data.

The driving force behind Phi-3 is not just about excelling in performance
but also about making AI ubiquitous. It’s about creating a model that can
operate on everyday devices like smartphones, thereby democratizing
AI. Amidst the challenges of optimizing performance while minimizing
resource consumption, Phi-3 addressed these issues head-on and
propelled the AI field towards new horizons.
What is Phi-3?
Variants of Phi-3
The Phi-3 comprises three distinct sizes: mini, small, and medium. The
Phi-3-mini, with its 3.8 billion parameters, serves as the entry point,
delivering impressive performance for its compact size. It is available in
two context-length variants 4K and 128K tokens, providing flexibility in
application. As we move up the ladder, the Phi-3-small and
Phi-3-medium variants, with 7 billion and 14 billion parameters
respectively, expand the model’s capabilities.
