CIOs are under growing pressure to implement AI solutions, with 92% planning integration by 2025, but nearly half struggle to prove its value. Small language models (SLMs) have emerged as a viable alternative, offering lower costs and more secure applications, particularly for edge computing. These models, like Mistral Small and DeepSeek R1, strike a balance between accuracy, speed, and cost efficiency. Experts highlight SLMs' potential to operate on IoT and mobile devices, facilitating new data sources and innovative applications in AI without relying on cloud infrastructure.
CIOs are facing pressure to implement digital initiatives; 92% plan to integrate AI by 2025, yet 49% find it challenging to showcase AI's value.
