The Interview Highlights the Potential of Small Language Models for a More Efficient and Sustainable AI Future
MCML PI Michael Hedderich was featured in the Deutschlandfunk programme Computer und Kommunikation. In the interview, he discusses how Small Language Models (SLMs) offer an efficient and sustainable alternative to today's increasingly large AI systems.
He explains how smaller models can deliver strong performance while requiring significantly fewer computational resources, making AI more accessible, energy-efficient, and less dependent on large technology providers. The feature also explores the growing role of SLMs in strengthening Europe's technological sovereignty and shaping the future of artificial intelligence.
