Our focus here is on a particular internal application used in Microsoft for cloud supply chain fulfilment. Our experiments show that small models can outperform much larger ones in terms of both accuracy and running time, even when fine-tuned on small datasets. Alongside these results, we also highlight SLM-based system design considerations.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/small-language-models-for-application-interactions-a-case-study/}, }
