What if the AI industry's obsession with building ever larger language models is actually making agents worse at their jobs? This presentation takes you on a journey from the early days of language models to today's trillion parameter behemoths, revealing why these impressive giants consistently stumble when tasked with real-world agent scenarios. We'll explore a counterintuitive solution small, strategically fine tuned models under 20B parameters—and showcase benchmarks that demonstrate how focusing on specialisation over scale might just revolutionise how we build practical AI agents.
