Microsoft has published the latest version of its small language model Phi-3.5. This new version is a big upgrade on the previous generation, beating smaller models from leading players like Google, OpenAI, Mistral, and Meta on several important metrics.
Phi-3.5 comes in 3.8 billion, 4.15 billion, and 41.9 billion parameter versions. All three are available to download for free and can be run using a local tool like Ollama.
