A new era in artificial intelligence has dawned with the launch of Microsoft’s Phi-3 family of AI models. These small language models are breaking boundaries by outperforming larger models while being more cost-effective. The first member of the Phi-3 family, Phi-3-mini, boasts a capacity of 3.8 billion parameters and excels in various benchmarks including language, reasoning, math, and coding.
Microsoft Phi-3 offers two context-length variants, 4K and 128K tokens, with the latter being a pioneering feature in the industry. With its instruction-tuned design, Phi-3 is ready to use out of the box and is ideal for building generative AI applications in a variety of scenarios, including resource-constrained environments and latency-bound situations.
The tech giant plans to unveil more models in the Phi-3 line, including Phi-3-small (7B) and Phi-3-medium (14B), in the near future. This advancement in AI technology opens up opportunities for IT experts in developing regions like the Philippines to explore the possibilities of generative AI applications.
