Bigger Vs. Smaller Models: Larger, commercial LLMs, smaller open source LLMs are increasingly becoming viable for many use cases, thereby offering cost effective alternatives to companies. As open-source models are catching up with larger, commercial models, they are increasingly offering close-comparable accuracy, as demonstrated in our NVHelp bot empirical evaluation in Figure 3, and generally have better latency performance compared to larger models. Additionally, GPU optimization of inference models can further speed up processing times. Open-source models optimized with NVIDIA’s Tensor RT-LLM inference libraries, for instance, have shown faster performance than non-optimized models. These strategies help balance the need for cost-efficiency with maintaining high performance and security standards.
