Small language models (SLMs)
Compact models for on-device or cheap inference. They hallucinate more without RAG. Your pages still need to be simple enough to retrieve.
On-device search might not browse. Then you’re back to parametric luck.
Don’t write for SLMs specifically. Write clearly.
Examples
- A phone model summarizes cached pages. If you were never fetched, you don’t exist there.
