Context
OUR TAKE The Joint Developer Day, which was held in Shanghai by Intel and Microsoft Reactor, was focused on making small language models (SLM) more widely used and more effective by using Intel’s OpenVINO toolkit. This event brought together top technical experts from both companies, offering in-depth sessions to help developers use AI in different ways. It shows a key change towards easier and more powerful AI tools that could make it easier for more people to use AI. This could lead to more creative applications and solutions across industries, while also raising important questions about data security and the ethical use of AI. –Heidi Luo, BTW reporter Intel and Microsoft Reactor hosted a joint developer day on Saturday at the Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island in Shanghai. The event focused on the efficient deployment and optimisation of small language models(SML) and was designed to help developers master the ability to build applications based on Phi-3 + OpenVINO.
