Welcome to Smol Models, a family of efficient and lightweight AI models from Hugging Face. Our mission is to create fully open powerful yet compact models, for text and vision, that can run effectively on-device while maintaining strong performance.
[NEW] SmolLM3 (Language Model)Our 3B model outperforms Llama 3.2 3B and Qwen2.5 3B while staying competitive with larger 4B alternatives (Qwen3 & Gemma3). Beyond the performance numbers, we're sharing exactly how we built it using public datasets and training frameworks.
