Love seeing Fastino "meet #developers where they are" with models that deliver performance with local CPUs!

Exciting with hyper efficient alternatives to transformer based LLMs 🔥🔥

Fastino Launches TLMs with $17.5M Seed Round aitech365.com/machine-learni… #AITech365 #Fastino #machinelearning #news #TaskSpecificLanguageModels #traditionalLLM #unstructuredtext

"The future of generative AI for enterprise is in smaller, more focused language models." Great callout from TechCrunch and Charles Rollet. Check it out here:

Fastino Fastino just raised $17.5M in Seed funding. 🔥 But here's what makes them different: They're not building massive foundation models. They're building small, purpose-driven AI. ✅ Trained for specific tasks ✅ Built with under $100K in compute ✅ Lightning-fast

Our very own George Maloney is on TBPN today w/ John Coogan and Jordi Hays at 1:45pm PST. Don't miss out on a great conversation!

Excited to talk about Fastino and our TLM launch on the @TBPN show with John Coogan and Jordi Hays today at 2pm PST!

We asked George Maloney about why TLMs are better than traditional LLMs. "LLMs aren't built for the enterprise. They're built for consumers." "They help you code and get food recipes. They're not built for high-scale enterprise tasks. "Enterprises are spending millions a month on

#developers, Need to run an LLM locally, but the usual suspects are too big to fit on your laptop? Check-out Fastino 's task-specific language models (TLMs): they fit on a laptop, no GPU required ... and FREE ;-)! fastino.ai/blog/introduci… fastino.ai

We just dropped our first deep dive on Fastino's TLMs which are purpose-built to outperform generalist LLMs like GPT-4o on high scale enterprise tasks. 🦊 Millisecond latency 🦊 Benchmarked against real-world use cases 🦊 Inference on CPU and low-end GPU Read the full launch
