Model right-sizing / In progress

Current focus

I am evaluating where smaller, specialized language models can match larger-model quality while reducing serving cost and latency. The work spans repeatable evaluation, targeted fine-tuning, deployment, and benchmarking on the tasks that matter.

  • Evaluation pipelines
  • SLM fine-tuning
  • Model serving
  • Quality-cost-latency tradeoffs
