We used to think AI needs giant servers. Wrong. The 2026 trend is Small Language Models (SLM) like Microsoft Phi-3 or Google Gemini Nano.
On-Device Processing
These models are 'light' enough to run on your smartphone's NPU (Neural Processing Unit) without any internet connection.
Why Important?
- Absolute Privacy: Your sensitive data never leaves the phone.
- Speed: No server loading time.
- Cost Saving: Companies don't need to pay expensive Cloud API bills.
This is the true democratization of artificial intelligence.
