InformationWeek Podcast: When do smaller AI models make s...
2026-03-11 · via informationweek

The urge to make the most of AI is widespread, but organizations might be unsure about the scale and scope of the models they need to deliver on what the technology can offer. Smaller AI models can be useful for fine-tuned tasks and purposes, though there may be some tradeoffs. 

Amol Ajgaonkar joined Pierre DeBois, CEO of Zimana Analytics, to explore what makes sense when deploying smaller AI models. 

At the time of the episode recording, Ajgaonkar was CTO of product innovation at Insight Enterprises. He is no longer with the company.

In the discussion, DeBois and Ajgaonkar talked about less obvious differences between working with an LLM versus smaller AI models, if an AI model can be “too small” to deliver results and whether or not smaller AI models actually deliver cost savings.

They also worked their way through the Questionable Ideas tabletop exercise, where they served as interim executives for a fictional company populated with tech hype-loving goblins, old-school kobold engineers and chaos-driven gremlins.
