NVIDIA's brilliant paper gives a lot of details and actionable techniques. 🎯 Small Language Models (SLMs) not LLMs are the real future of agentic AI. They gave a recipe for swapping out the large models with SLMs without breaking anything and show that 40%‑70% of calls in open agents could switch today. It argues that SLMs, already match big models on many routine agent tasks, cost far less to run, and slot neatly into mixed‑model pipelines, so most agent calls should shift to SLMs. 🗝️ The central claim SLMs that fit on a laptop already handle the narrow language chores inside most agents. Because those chores rarely need open‑ended chat, the authors say an SLM‑first design is the natural default, and large models become occasional helpers. @NVIDIAAIDev 👏
