SmolLM-1.7B is a series of small language models trained by Hugging Face on a high-quality dataset. The 1.7 billion parameter version is designed to be efficient for on-device or low-resource inference while achieving competitive results on benchmarks such as MMLU. It supports standard text-generation tasks and is available through the Transformers library.
