A small AI model trained on high-quality data can punch well above its weight - sometimes closing the gap with much larger models.

Scaling down is a late-stage move, not a starting point. Get it right first, then get it fast.

The pattern that works: big AI model โ†’ validate quality โ†’ curate your data โ†’ scale down the model confidently.
