Specialized GenAI models are tools designed to perform specific functions. They come in different forms, namely Small Language Models, fine-tuned Large Language Models, RAG augmented, and fine-tuned and RAG augmented. Variations and combinations of these categories make models more tailored to certain tasks, and in so doing, more accurate in their performance. Here's a more comprehensive breakdown of specialized GenAI model types:

  • Small Language Models (SLMs): Slim, task-focused models with fewer parameters and trainable on smaller, highly focused datasets in a matter of minutes or hours.
  • Fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs): LLMs that are upgraded with domain-specific training data. Level of difficulty is high.
  • Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models: Language models boosted with external data retrieval systems. Level of difficulty is lower than fine-tuning models.
  • Fine-tuned and RAG-augmented models: ...
