alot of really small SLMs seem to be too small to even function properly.
however, there may be some unconventional uses for some of them.
one usecase keyword generation. heres what gemma-3-270m-it-qat-Q4_0 gave me
prompt: keywords similar to "construction"

90 TPS (but got stuck in a repeating loop)
i think theres alot of other uses. but they arent really LLM answer that people usually reach for an LLM.
Thanks! Will explore this further.
There's some really close prior art here https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.00725
Cool paper. This makes me want to try to experiment with this. I have a 8GB VRAM card and 32GB DDR4.
So not ideal, currently I just pay for inference. Trying to get a model to punch above its weight would be kinda interesting to experiment with.
