Artificial intelligence, or AI, is becoming a standard part of every startup’s business.

It can be used to improve the startup’s operations.

And it can also be used to enhance the startup’s product line.

The startup must choose an AI model that fits their needs.

There are large AI models and there are small AI models.

Large models are provided by deep-pocketed companies with a considerable investment of resources into it.

Large models work well for those who don’t want to build their own.

This avoids having to hire a team of people to build out the model.

Small models are developed in-house and work well for those who want to build their own.

Small models give the startup more control over their data and can be tuned to their requirements.

Those in vertical niches find small models ideal for their application.

For business operations, most startups adopt a large model as they look primarily for operational efficiency.

For product lines, some will choose the small model as it fits better their product and customer application. 

Consider how you will use small and large AI models in your startup.
