"Rather than building massive, complex large language models, many organizations choose smaller language models that focus on niche applications such as supply chain management or inventory control. This is the “lean AI” concept, and it entails purpose-built models able to deliver value without the high costs and complexity associated with larger systems, according to Linthicum.

“We have Agentic AI and certainly using things like small language models where we’re leveraging generative AI and AI in general for more tactical implementation,” he said. “It’s dealing with supply chain integration, dealing with inventory control. We’re not building LLMs, and I don’t think the businesses out there are going to get the value from building huge LLMs that they think they’re going to get.”"

Lean AI focuses on optimizing the development, deployment, and operation of AI systems. It employs smaller models, iterative development practices, and resource-efficient techniques to reduce waste. By prioritizing agile, data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement, lean AI allows enterprises to harness the power of AI in a sustainable and scalable manner
