Recently, Microsoft unveiled Phi-3-Mini as part of its family of open AI models, designed to be capable and cost-effective Small Language Models (SLMs).

• SLMs are AI systems trained on existing data to solve language-related tasks such as text classification, question answering, text generation, etc.
• Phi-3-Mini reportedly outperforms models of similar size and even larger ones in key areas like language, reasoning, coding, and math.
• Phi-3-mini is the first model in its class to support a context window of up to 128K tokens, with little impact on quality.
  • The amount of conversation that an AI can read and write at any given time is called the context window, and is measured in something called tokens.
• Microsoft collaborates with Imperial Tobacco Company (ITC) utilising Phi-3- Mini for their ongoing partnership in developing Krishi Mitra, a farmer-focused app benefiting over a million farmers.
