Small Language Models
Small Language Models (SLMs) are tailored AI that knows your domain better than a general-purpose LLM ever could.
What is a Small Language Model?
A Small Language Model (SLM) is a compact, specialised AI trained on a carefully selected body of knowledge rather than the entire internet.
The result is an expert-grade system that is faster, more accurate, and far more reliable within its chosen field. Why our clients choose SLMs over large general models
General large language models (LLMs) are broad by design. They reflect averages across billions of conflicting sources and often produce plausible-sounding but incorrect or generic answers in specialised areas.
Our SLMs are different:
- Built from the ground up on rigorously curated, high-quality sources.
- All AI contain biases. We understand that, and train our SLMs objectively, reflecting the grounded, proven biases of the experts recognised as leaders in their domains.
- Our modular approach to building SLMs lets us combine knowledge exactly to include the domains you need – for example, economics + regulatory law + your internal policy library – without dilution or contradiction.
- Optional inclusion of your own documents, contracts, research papers and proprietary data, turning the model into a true expert on your organisation.
Specialist domains include (among others):
Economics • Philosophy • Theology • Natural Sciences • History • Law • Finance • Engineering • Medicine • Social Sciences • Art & Media • Mathematics
Offline and local deployment
All of our SLMs are designed to run locally on your hardware or private cloud, with no data ever leaving your control.
When to choose a bespoke SLM
- You need consistent, defensible answers in a regulated or high-stakes environment.
- Your team repeatedly asks the same complex domain questions.
- You want an AI that reflects your organisation’s actual knowledge and policy, not internet consensus.
- Speed, cost and privacy matter more than having the largest possible model.
Let’s discuss your use case
If you would like an AI that behaves like an in-house subject-matter expert rather than a generalist chatbot, we can build it.
